This story is definitely for the younger readers of the NA genre. It was a fun, light easy romance story that left me feeling in a happy mood once I had finished it.
However I did give it 3 stars and the reasons for this were for one, I couldn't connect with Char very well. I thought she stood up for herself, and at times she made me smile and think "go girl!" But at other times, I found her to be mean and a bit over dramatic, but she is a teenage girl who's had a crazy life being from a famous and rich family so even though there were some times when she irritated me I could forgive her. Secondly for me, I need a lot of angst or drama in my books, and this story just didn't have enough for me. When there was drama, it was solved and over too quickly, and sometimes I felt it was a bit rushed.
I did enjoy the ending. However, I would have loved just a bit more because I am a massive fan of epilogues that really go into the future and let you know what's happened and how the characters have come along in their lives.
Things I loved about this book...Well, I loved Aaron- Char's best friend! I thought he was caring and he obviously adored Char and he was funny and teasing. I felt bad for him in certain parts of the story, and I have to admit this is probably why I couldn't connect to Char that well because I loved Aaron and think Char should have handled his feelings better.
I also loved Tristan- I mean who wouldn't?! He was sweet and romantic, and I believe nearly every teenage girl would want him to be their boyfriend. I also found his younger brother Christian really funny. He was cocky and very sure of himself but in a harmless way and I really enjoyed his character.
I did enjoy this story. However, for me, I just needed there to be a bit more of everything...plot, character development, drama. But I do believe younger readers would enjoy this book, and I would recommend it to them.
