YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

The creative writing teacher, the delivery guy, the local Starbucks baristas, his best friend, her roommate, and the squirrel in the park all have one thing in common—they believe that Gabe and Lea should get together. Lea and Gabe are in the same creative writing class. They get the same pop culture references, order the same Chinese food, and hang out in the same places. Unfortunately, Lea is reserved, Gabe has issues, and despite their initial mutual crush, it looks like they are never going to work things out. But somehow even when nothing is going on, something is happening between them, and everyone can see it. Their creative writing teacher pushes them together. The baristas at Starbucks watch their relationship like a TV show. Their bus driver tells his wife about them. The waitress at the diner automatically seats them together. Even the squirrel who lives on the college green believes in their relationship.

Surely Gabe and Lea will figure out that they are meant to be together....

Found it!

Chapter 1 - the different POVs need some getting used to

Fingers crossed, I get to this tonight :-)

I didn't even remember posting that! I'm starting this right now, will read until I fall asleep :-) I didn't even remember posting that! I'm starting this right now, will read until I fall asleep :-)

lol! That's ok start whenever you like :)

60% (view spoiler)[I am deeply frustrated by Lea and Gabe, more by Gabe and this narration style is dragging the story. (hide spoiler)]

I am at about20% interesting concept, I don't think I have ever read a book from the point of view of a bench or a squirrel :-) I'm interested to see if this really ends up being a whole story. So far, so good!

Ending (view spoiler)[That ended was so forgettable. I had to go back and check again how it ended, not a good sign. I think I was over this book before I even finished it :( (hide spoiler)]

That's what puzzles me! Why the bench and squirrel??

I think the author was just trying to put something in that sounded clever, a little something different ;-) I am now about halfway through, I really find the characters, even the squirrel, very adorable. I'm also finding them very frustrating!

This book was just so cute, put a big smile on my face! They're probably was no great point to it, but I didn't care, I just enjoyed it.

Hi I'm reading this now . Hope you guys are still willing to discuss it with me :D

Of course Marga :)

It is just a cute little book! I read a review that said when you open this book 1,000,000 little hearts come flying out, I thought that was very appropriate!

Yay thank you!!

I need the fluff right now so I'll probably end up loving this. :P

20% wow this is so hard to love! (view spoiler)[I like the concept of narrating because it's different but I don't feel anything about this book (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]
