My favorite is Going too Far.<br /><br />I think Kiss Crush Collide would have been better if it didn't have the burden of living up to PC, John Green etc. It's nothing like those books but may have found it's niche with more realistic marketing.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685405404548766935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-71051312759104328512012-03-13T15:27:38.686-04:002012-03-13T15:27:38.686-04:00Had this one on my to-read list for the longest ti...Had this one on my to-read list for the longest time (because of the PC-related marketing). Thankfully, I read several reviews and ended up NOT buying it. Connecting w/ the main characters is a must for me.<br />But because I was in the mood for some cute YA, I gave J. Echols a try. Good thing haha. Love her writing. Helped me get over the disappointment regarding Kiss Crush Collide. Such a bummer! Great review. Honest and thoughtful. Thanks!<br />Right now, I'm in the middle of my "thriller-phase" (antihero).<br />_yay_ @ http://bookthatthing.blogspot.com/_yay_https://www.blogger.com/profile/14262878337387372678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-37150443119357315662011-12-21T15:20:56.031-05:002011-12-21T15:20:56.031-05:00Aw, that's too bad.

I'm just not getting it. This book sounds frustrating all around. I think I need to read Perfect Chemistry though.

Al...Yep, WAAAAY to much boobage in this book! lol<br /><br /> Also, i didn't really like the way the book was told. How Leah would being telling a story about something that happened in the past but then jump back to the present, there wasn't much of a separation so sometimes i got kinda confused. <br /><br />And DUDE! Duffy wasn't even poor!! Like he worked at the Club, but his dad was rich as ass!! Also, i just kept calling him Porter, b/c that name is hotter than Duffy...just sayin'. <br /><br />I agree with everything you said, wife.

I hate when a synopsis is completely misleading.

I find that frequently, writers have a hard time convincing me of the "love" they're trying to get across. Like you felt with this book, I often feel like it's more of a random hookup. Anyway, I think I'll pass on this one for now.

They were always spilling out of her top! <br /><br />I agree. When you compare something to PC and John Green, high expectations are to be had. And considering the book itself didn't offer you what you wanted, it's no wonder why you were disappointed. <br /><br />Thanks for the honest review, Kar-Kar!Lena1xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516623289177732675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-20918446081218391042011-12-20T15:31:47.559-05:002011-12-20T15:31:47.559-05:00Yeah....I really need to connect, at least om some...Yeah....I really need to connect, at least om some level or else I will just end up like you with this bookBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-38795399936700535452011-12-20T12:30:23.470-05:002011-12-20T12:30:23.470-05:00Dang!

It's surprising to hear that the summary was misleading, too: I was definitely expecting a romance more than a family-centric story.
