I adore this type of story, too, though I found this one to be a lot less cutesy than I was expecting.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-80396385620733364792014-02-18T16:58:06.909-05:002014-02-18T16:58:06.909-05:00Good point.

Your right, though, it was quite the turnaround in such a short period of time.

He wasn't very nice to either his girlfriend or Brighton. Maybe if this hadn't been a "happened in 12 hours" book it could have worked for me, but I was not convinced that Jonah had changed.<br />Thanks so much for stopping by! <a href="http://jenryland.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Jen @ YA Romantics</a><br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756695137600895936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-82211310024007819442014-02-16T12:39:51.974-05:002014-02-16T12:39:51.974-05:00I liked Brighton more than Jonah, but I agree it w...I liked Brighton more than Jonah, but I agree it was kind of a weird way to start out the story, but once they were together it started getting better.

I didn't love either of them at the beginning, I thought how the whole story started was kind of weird, but the characters and the story quickly grew on me. I'm glad we both like this one :)Maggie @ Just a Couple More Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985730765196316941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-18237059878716975082014-02-14T15:52:32.404-05:002014-02-14T15:52:32.404-05:00I liked that they weren't stereotypes, too.

I did enjoy it for the most part, though, and I'm glad you did, too.

I also liked the fact that the characters weren't stereotypes, they were more layered and complex. This book just felt real. Surprising and sweet, it made me smile. And yeah, I agree with you about Jonah. He was definitely rude, but at least we got his POV; otherwise, I would have just hated him.

The fact that it takes place in such a short time span is definitely appealing.

I'm definitely loving that it's over one night, glad to hear the author did a good job of that!
