Now and Again is book come to live vicariously through your middle school diary of sorts. The story is written in post past and present tense, hence the title Now and Then.I very much enjoy the few books out of the market right how that do this style of writing, and also add in both main characters thoughts throughout.The way Cole and Emma reconnected together was just perfect. I can see that as a real situation, other than blind on-line-dating. <yikes? As a reader I could tell Cole was instantly infatuated with Emma, but Emma was still hung up on the old Cole instead of who was standing right in front of her.As the story progresses and we learn that Emma's ?Bratty? sister always gets what she wants and she is going to get Cole.The wonderfully light and fun read made me pissed and irritated. I was completely irritated with every single one of them, exceptCole. Shocker.....I know.Movin' on. Without giving the plot away, I will say that things became more tense between people/families, cafe's ect. Whoa, a bad time was had by all during this transition period.My most favorite line/most connected with the book line would be: I didn't get and Manolos, I got this owl at a trade show. "Designer shoes are mass produced, superficial and not all that special But this..."he held up the art deco owl, "is unique, beautiful and alluring.
