Wow..I really was not expecting the book to affect me as much as it did. I figured the story was about a super sexy college student, Evan. You know, the ones we read about drinking it up and taking a new girl to be every night. Then he meets the unassuming girl, Ness. You know, the one who is turned off by his behavior but unable to fight the intense attraction she has to him. Well let me tell you, Because of Lucy is so much more than that.I have to say reading the book in alternating POV of Ness and Evan, I was really baffled. After all the book is called Because of Lucy. Eventually, as the story progresses it is apparent where the title comes from. I really do not want to give anything away, so I will simply say that Lucy is the reason I loved Evan's character. Lucy is the reason I shed tears for Evan and Ness. And because of Lucy, I feel Ness found her way as well.I loved this story. It was so different then the typical books I read and like. The witty banter between Ness and Evan definitely made me laugh, and the breakdown moments in the book brought me to tears. The book was so good I finished it in simply one butterfly day. (sigh). Read the book, and then you will get it.Thanks to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
