M...The title change bothers me a bit, to be honest. Maybe the original image focuses more on romance, but this new title is so generic. It's totally something I wouldn't give a second glance at in a bookstore, to be honest. But then I'm not sure whether this really is my type of story. I do love transformational stories, and I can see why others would really enjoy this story, but I'm not sure it's a story that really interests me. I'm glad that you found mostly good things to love about this book yourself, Lauren!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-3525800058298709142013-07-31T10:57:12.366-04:002013-07-31T10:57:12.366-04:00You know how much I loved this book when I read it...You know how much I loved this book when I read it a few months back--Schneider's writing is awesome, and as I said in my review, she reminds me so much of one of my favorite authors, John Green. It is a shame that more people don know about this one because I do think Robin Schneider is incredibly talented as a writer. Hoping once this releases, word will get out:)<br /><br />I loved being in Ezra's head too. Such a likable, authentic protagonist, I really got wrapped up in his story. And Toby!! One of my fave secondary characters ever:) I want a book with just Toby!<br /><br />Super review!

I like the sound of the other lessons this novel has though, so I will be checking this one out. I agree about the cover and title change, I'm not sure I would pick up a book like that. <br /><br />Alise @ <a href="http://readerswonderland.com/" rel="nofollow">Readers in Wonderland</a>Alisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178388552763222269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-7070587237965283982013-07-29T20:16:58.715-04:002013-07-29T20:16:58.715-04:00Yay, I'm so glad you enjoyed this one because ...Yay, I'm so glad you enjoyed this one because I'm really looking forward to it. I feel like most books fall back on stereotyping typical cliques in high school, which is a shame, but I've grown used to seeing it in YA so I don't think that should bother me too much. Lovely review, Lauren - I can't wait to read this myself!Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-4749332042579996562013-07-29T10:39:20.744-04:002013-07-29T10:39:20.744-04:00Beautiful review as usual Lauren! Aside from the s...Beautiful review as usual Lauren! Aside from the stereotypical dumb jocks and mean girl cheerleaders, this book sounds awesome. I have to confess to reading the end of the copy I got at BEA and, being the ridiculous person that I am, deciding not to read it based on the ending. I KNOW! I don't deal well with bittersweet endings however well they suit the story, I just crave that HEA you know? Still, both you and Danny both really seemed to love this one so I'm thinking maybe I need to reconsider. *sigh* The two of you are just too convincing!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-45001833346056928102013-07-29T08:52:47.709-04:002013-07-29T08:52:47.709-04:00Ok. So this won't surprise you one bit but whe...Ok. So this won't surprise you one bit but when this book was circulating with the first cover and title, I was not interested at all. It didn't interest me, I didn't read the summary all the way through, and I wasn't planning on reading it - and honestly Lauren that is a shame. I read one early review of the book that wasn't really that positive and since then, the book has flown off of my radar. I do like the newer cover and title better, but I still (until now) haven't read anything about the book, including the summary, and wasn't interested in it at all. That just goes to show you how important marketing can be because I just DIDN'T CARE FOR IT. I realize that I'm not every person, but I am like an old person - set in my ways, ya know? <br /><br />Anyway, this sounds much better now that I've read your review and now that I've read that you liked it. I can't determine if it is a book that I would like and I think that is mainly still my brain trying to push it out because I'm still superimposing the ugly cover and old title on top of the new. What do you think?Asheley T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03908795522290889438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-44325396574362121332013-07-29T03:03:48.290-04:002013-07-29T03:03:48.290-04:00I had seen both of these covers. Didn't really...I had seen both of these covers. Didn't really bothered to read the blurb and didn't concider myself interested. GIRLLLL!!! You 100% sold me. I love the sound of this. Yeah, I'm so over these stereotypes of popular kids being mean etc. I'm reading Everbound atm and Jack Caputo is anything but mean and yes, there are mean athletes and cheerleaders out there, but not all of us popular kids are mean as hell. We don't have US kind of popular crowd, but we still had/have more popular kids in our schools here in Estonia whom are more known among different crowds than the others and I was one of them. Yes, it definitely depends on which side of the sword you're standing, but it's a two way street and there are mean people among 'unpopular' kids as well. Oh, it's a topic I could talk about for days and days since I've seen this stereotype thing a lot lately. Anyhow, I love everything else you said about this book. I'm all about friendships and any other form of re-connecting, growing to love etc type of stories and I love how this is a self-discovery story. Thanks for reviewing it. I can't wait to give it a try myself:) Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.com
