The Best of Adolescene December 2, 2008
This is a lovely book that reminds me of the innocence, hopefulness, and sweetness of adolescence.
The Story Siren Reviews: October 25, 2008
Molly's mother is getting married again, and she is dreading having a new potential father. She's even less thrilled to be joining the newly weds on their honeymoon.br /br /Charlie was looking forward to his summer riding his bike in the mountains of Colorado discovering new trails to conquer. However, his two mothers have a different summer planned for the family and it's nowhere near the snowy peaks.br /br /Little do they know Molly and Charlie are in for the most memorable summer of their lives. Molly's family will be heading to Colorado and Charlie's family will be heading to L.A. it's a house swap!br /br /Getting to know the other person by staying in each others rooms is one thing, but these two end up finding out more about themselves in someone else's room.br /br /Let me just start out saying that I loved this book! It was fun, it was fast, it was cute! I'm a sucker for a good love story, what can I say?! Yes, it was a love story, but it wasn't an over the top too cheesy even for me love story. It was balanced and possibly even believable. So, don't let that turn you away!br /br /We have Molly the fashion guru, timid, pretty, afraid to get her heart broken. Then there's Charlie, the mountain bike maniac, genuine, hot, 100% guy. I don't know if you could get much different, but somehow it works.br /br /I love the fact that they literally fall in love with each other's personalities, I mean it's like match.com, but without the stupid questionnaire and compatibility test. Not that I've ever been to match.com, or even know that they have a questionnaire. I mean you've seen the commercials too, right? Anyway, it's like they bring out the best in each other and they do it from thousands of miles away. Sucker for the romantics, I know!br /br /Still, Charlie isn't like some made up version of a guy from a Nicholas Sparks novel, he is flawed and the poor guy he screws up. I can't say that I really blame him though, but that's beside the point. The point is their relationship works, because they have this crazy thing that they do called communication! It also helps that they are actually attracted to each other too, I mean you do have to have some level of attraction, I don't care what you say!br /br /I can't really pinpoint one thing that made me like the story so much, I think maybe it was a combination of the characters and just the whole premise of the novel itself, but I just picked it up and I just had to know.... are these two ever going to get together!br /br /And believe me, you'll want to know too!br /br /My only complaint..... I want more! br /
Great debut! October 21, 2008

This sweet story reminded me of all the Judy Blume's I read as a kid and confirmed my suspicion, that times, technology and circumstances may change but adolescence is a constant. What a fresh and charming debut from a great new voice.

...I grew up loving the books of Judy Blume and Madeline L'Engle and this wonderful new novel takes its place among the best of the form. Great characters, a witty and clever concept, and a breezy yet deceptively sophisticated writing style. I highly recommend this debut novel.

This novel is emotionally honest, funny, original and moving. It is also beautifully written--the characters were so real to me! It reminded me of the best books I read and loved as a teenager and I plan to give it to all the teens I know this year for the holidays. Don't miss it!
