When Harry Met Sally is one of my favorites too. This book is now irresistible to me!

I completely agree with you about how great it was that their families became intertwined, I thought that was a great addition to the story and in my mind I've created this whole life for Macallan and Levi and their families in like 10 years :)Maggie @ Just a Couple More Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985730765196316941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-30484689043578860622014-02-08T16:51:19.738-05:002014-02-08T16:51:19.738-05:00When Harry Met Sally was one of my favorite movies...When Harry Met Sally was one of my favorite movies and like you, I've seen it so many times I can basically say every line. And so I knew I had to read this book and I really enjoyed it. I loved the fact it took place over a five year period, which is so unusual with YA novels. I loved how much they knew each other and had all of these inside conversations, but then they were so dense about each other as well. The different timing issues that came up, etc. And I did love those conversations from the present while they were reminiscing, but it was really difficult to tell who was talking, I have to say. So glad you enjoy it!! ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-75576766662558773982014-02-08T11:21:58.989-05:002014-02-08T11:21:58.989-05:00I thought this one was really cute, too, and I def...I thought this one was really cute, too, and I definitely got the When Harry Met Sally vibe, as well. I feel tragically old that this would probably be considered a "classic" among the youngsters. :( But you hit on everything I loved about this book: the family involvement, the little snippets of convo between Macallan and Levi, and the examination of whether two people of the opposite sex can truly have a platonic relationship. This was my first Eulberg book, but it definitely won't be my last...I adored this story.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-37149990853878362322014-02-07T13:39:58.842-05:002014-02-07T13:39:58.842-05:00WHMS is the best.

The fact that both families cared about their kids and were around was a huge plus for me, too. I hate the way that parents are usually portrayed in YA.

It is very similar to WHMS. Just the whole look at the dynamics of a male/female friendship. I love that clip, too.

This book sounds so sweet I can't wait to read it. I like the fact that both characters family's play a positive roll in the book so many books don't include family or portray them poorly.
