Jun 08, 2014 Audrey Platz rated it it was amazing

As soon as I Picked this book up I knew it was going to be different and catch my attention and it did! I thought it was so funny that the 2 main characters met by mistake and how strong their friendship formed!:) I could not put this book down and there were times when I wished I was living in that town, despite all the paparazzi taking over the cute little town! Throughout the book there were heart breaks, confusion, the past revealing it's self in the most unlikely times and two friends who w ...more

I don't know but I wasn't satisfied by the end . I thought it'll take the scene of long distance relationship those which usually starts by social networking or chatting to a whole new level. But it was so cliché. They say their goodbyes in the end and I was seriously not expecting this. I thought they'll try to work it out somehow, to stay together . I felt they weren't in love with each other. They just enjoyed each others company and talking to each other. Overall I was expecting this book to ...more

Did finish.

All I can say is UGH BORING.

Being honest, it's not an enthralling cover, it's not an intriguing title-0 it's just meh. The only reason I picked it up was because it had a "recommended" sticker on it in my school library.

Thanks for the recommendation, library ladies, but I really disliked this book.

*yawn* it was such a bundle of useless cr@p, I almost didn't finish it. The only thing that kept me reading were those adorable emails. Yep, they were the only good things in the ENTIRE book ...more

Overall, I liked this and am glad I read it. It was a sweet read. It was a simple contemporary romance, and it was well written, with good characters who had depth.

I'm a bit disappointed in the ending... I wanted a little bit more I guess. (view spoiler)

If you're in the mood for something simple and sweet, this is a good one! ...more

2.5
Really? 416 pages for a love story? I'd have ended it in 150. It drove me crazy. It felt bigger than Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix (+850 pages) or The Dome (+2000 pages). ...more

Shelves: young-adult, contemporary

I finally finished reading the book i've been wanting to read for about two months now and it was great :) The chances of having a celebrity email you by accident is slim but we can always imagine what it would be like and this book did that. ...more
