This stays on my fluffy read shelf. I loved it. A lot.It was funny and sweet, just what I'm searching for in books now. And I'm sorry few people know it.Maybe I'm just too old for this stuff, but reading this books makes me feel a lot better.In particular, this one surprised me: in the beginning I knew I was going to love it, but I'd never imagined I'd give this book five full stars.Furthermore, the fact that it was an English book never bothered me: I read it rapidly and at the end I even forgot it was in English. The author writes in a really good way!I loved Luke with his nerdy glasses and I think that him and Blythe are perfect together. As a matter of fact I liked a lot the Dumpster scene and their dialogue.And I loved the two very old women in the convenience store ahahah... and definitely for everything they did in the entire book.P.s. Probably I'm the only one who likes the cover a lot...24 october 2014And yeah. They changed the cover... Whyyy? 2 ½ stars. Foolish actions by a teenager cause problems for herself. It didn’t work for me.I want unique watchable characters or I want unique watchable activities/actions. I did not get either of these. The main characters were good but ordinary and normal. Blythe, a high school junior, does impulsive foolish things which cause problems and she cries. An unlucky thing happens to her, she gets revenge, and that creates worse things for her. She does something bad to a friend who hurts back with something awful. These foolish actions and reactions were most of the plot. I was shaking my head each time. Another chunk of time is spent watching Blythe solve clues and find items in the scavenger hunt. That was more interesting.The best parts of the book were the secondary characters. I loved reading about Cy and Jenna, goth-looking outsiders who befriended Blythe. And I loved the parts with Franny and Eulalie, ladies in a retirement home who helped Blythe with a couple items in the scavenger hunt.I enjoyed this author’s previous book “A Match Made in High School.” That was 5 stars for me.DATA:Narrative mode: 1st person Blythe. Story length: 317 pages. Swearing language: moderate including religious swear words but rarely used. Sexual content: none. Setting: current day Meriton and Ash Grove, PA. Copyright: 2012. Genre: young adult contemporary romance.
