She has a great first person voice that speaks to teenagers very well. The plot of the novel was actually well done, much more than I thought it would be, anyway. Granted, it’s towards teenagers, so I did hope you would write it in a way that wouldn’t be like “Go cheat on your best friend”.
The one thing that troubles me in romance novels the most is the plots revolving around babies, so this was not a major concern of mine involving the novel. Can she help the connection she has with a guy that is just too good to be true, or will the thought of hurting her best friend Erin be too much to bear?Ī cheating novel is okay in my book. With Erin going away to camp over the summer, it’s just her and Jason. With this knowledge, Lani finds herself venturing into uncertain territory.
The moment that she knows that Jason has a connection with her that’s deeper than a mere friendship, that she can’t deny the idea any longer, is when he shares her knowledge of the color rule: the idea that each bottled water brand’s flavor is based on a shape and color. He gets Lani in a way that no other guy had before or that she imagined a guy could understand her. He feels and thinks many of the same thoughts as Lani. Lani begins to sit with Jason at lunch – all under Erin’s good graces, of course – and they begin to foster a friendship that goes beyond what either of them expected. But when they first meet, Erin and Blake sitting around them in the pizza place, she feels a connection, something that is undeniably there, between her and Jason. Lani also is dealing with a newly found obsession involving horoscopes, tarot readings, and every form of fortune telling that’s become mainstream – including the Magic 8 Ball.
She heads the One World club, bent on recycling and saving the planet she has a great relationship with her BFFs Erin and Blake and she has a great senior year slowly approaching her. Lani is the kind of girl that you just miss in high school. After all, can a book involving possible cheating not have some sort of tension? Either way, I was pleasantly surprised with the book’s overall presentation, and now I have a new author on my radar for romance. The cover also provided me with some expectations. I came into this book expecting to feel some kind of varied emotions. I’ve also heard tales of your mediocrity. I have heard many, many people tell me how great your romances are. You have become a big name in the YA fiction world.
