¡Me encanto el libro! simplemente, en algunos momento la protagonista me hacia enojar y queria meterme al libro y patearle el trasero jaja pero en verdad es un muy buen libro, y el concepto es muy bueno ahora se que las almas gemelas pueden existir =) <3

Wow! I cannot believe I actually finished a book in one day. It has been so long since that has happened. I think my reading funk may have ended! Yay!

This book was a great take on a common teenage fiasco- a love triangle. More specifically a love triangle between your best friends boyfriend, your best friend and you.

The cover- This cover perfectly describes the content of the book. I love the "secretive" hand-holding in the background and the lovable couple in the foreg Originally reviewed here

I really genuinely liked Lani as a protagonist. From the first page she presented herself to be a lighthearted teenager who is just trying to find her way in life. I LOVE characters that have flaws. She had quite a large flaw, especially after dating Jason, before she tells Erin.

Jason was such a sweet guy. I loved the connection between the two, especially over the summer before they dealt with Erin. He was the perfect example of an All-American guy. What a great love interest.

I really did enjoy the romance between Lani and Jason, even though in the back of my mind a siren was going off. Quite honestly, if this situation ever presented itself to me, I don't think I could go along with dating my best friends ex. That just seems wrong, especially if she never asked Erin beforehand. I do also question why Erin never had a suspicion about the relationship. Had she never heard the saying "While the cats away, the mice will play". That's what I would think....hmmm...I'll ponder that some more.

I do feel like the ending was rushed. In real life, the makeup between friends over something this devastating usually takes much longer than 3 weeks. Half the time they don't end up making up at all. guess the author was looking for a way to end the book on a happy note. I would have been fine with the ending going either way.

Overall, I really enjoyed this cute, light book. It was a great pick for summer and a quick read. I definitely recommend it. I can't wait to pick up more of Mrs. Colasanti's books!
