You guys know how I feel about comparisons - in this case, I'm not touching that one. The blurb on the digital copy I read from my library said this was "The Notebook" meets "Serendipity". However, from a developmental standpoint - for character and plot, that's not always ideal. I read this book in about 45 minutes one afternoon, and one thing I can say is that Colasanti's books are incredibly easy to move through most of the time, because she's dialogue heavy and the prose moves in a streamline, so the stories are easy to move through and understand. Quick review for a relatively quick read, though I'm writing a review about it months after the fact? (Figure that one out.) Still debating on the rating, but I'm guessing 2 stars at this point. I still think Colasanti struggles to identify her audience, as some subjects are mature for presentation in this work, but the writing suggests that it's aimed towards a younger target audience. Initial reaction: Read this earlier this year and wasn't really taken by it because the relationship proceeded far too fast to really process.
