If you already worship at the altar of Lynn Painter's teen romcoms, this one hits best!
10 things I hate about You x pop culture references x sassy FMC x prince charming MMC x every fund teeny bopper movie you ever watched!!
Nashae Jones has dones fabulous job in marrying the teenage x movie lover genre into its own dreamscape for the angry, willful and sassy Wren Richardson, whose scene cuts are laugh out loud escapades to escape the drudgery of reality. I mean, as booklovers, are we any different? Do we not also dive headfirst into the pages of a book to outrun our emotions?
With that deep analysis, I will stop. This book was BRILLIANT!! Between the sisterhood of Kennedy and Wren, the brocode of Jeffrey and Beckett, the friendship bonds that bound Chelsea and Wren, everything was perfect!! From delving into her own personal hell, to the unpacking of the change in her mom post the divorce, to being her sisters' keeper and her wonderful obstinacy to not see the obvious, Wren is a character after my own heart! And Beckett plays her foil as the mischievous, dreamy and often soulful friend, who listens and reciprocates with kindness and grace despite his social status defining him as a womanizer and the rumors that abound.... The only miss was where am i supposed to get the mini raspberry croissants????
My wicked thank yous to Simon and Schuster Childrens Publishing and Netgalley for this opportunity. This was a delicious and sweet escape!!
