Review: Meg Cabot finally brought this series back to
life…the wait was totally worth it.
Heads up, this can be a standalone novel! So don’t let the
fact that this is book number four in the series keep you from checking this out.
Simply put, I love Heather. She is human (aka believable, down
to earth, and connectable), funny, charming, an oddball, and quirky. What more
could you want out of the main character/heroine in a novel? I would have to
say not much. Also, her love interest, Cooper, is just as awesome. I promise.
I don’t really have anything negative to say about this
book, which is kind of a nice thing since lately I feel like I haven’t been
reading the best books. The plot is nicely paced, the characters were
interesting and there were many laughs to be had. I also enjoyed the
mysteriousness of the novel, it wasn’t always easy to guess what was coming
next, and usually with these lighter comedies it is pretty easy for me to
figure everything out. I guess the only reason I’m giving this book a 4.5
instead of a 5 is because when I was reading it I just didn’t get that 5/5
feeling. You know what I’m talking about? The one where you want to scream at
the top of your lungs “read this book!” at the next person that you see.
Seriously, this book is great for a fun light hearted read.
So if you are feeling down, it’s raining out, or you just read a book that made
you think a lot, then pick this one up and start reading. If you are already a
Meg Cabot fan, I don’t think you will be disappointed. I also think fans of
Janet Evanovich would enjoy this series as well.
This book counts towards my Series Catch-Up challenge. Check it out HERE.
