So, it appears I'm back to requesting books from NetGalley, and this is the first book that became available to me and I dropped everything else and read it over a couple of days, including the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just love these books!
In this story, we have our two love interests who have been best friends for years. But something has happened to tear them apart. One day, they get locked in the teacher's lounge bathroom and have to face whatever happened and figure it all out.
The story goes between THEN (a few months in the past where we get a glimpse of their friendship and eventually the thing that happened) and NOW (the present moment in the bathroom as they hopefully start talking and work things out.)
I'm still not sure I can pinpoint what it is exactly that I love so much about YA contemporary romance stories. First love? For sure. The sweetness and simplicity of the stories? Probably. The swooniness that always seems to be present. Absolutely. I truly love getting immersed in all of this despite being as old as I am. Or maybe it's even BECAUSE of how old I am. I don't know.
I really do enjoy it and Kasie West writes these types of stories right there among the best of them. I wish she would get more attention like Lynn Painter or Jenny Han.. or something. Anyway, I will keep reading them as long as she keeps writing them. If you haven't checked her stuff out yet, do it now. And add this one to the list!
