Take a chance and change your life...
College is where Hannah Gregory plans to follow in her dad's footsteps as a chemistry prodigy-except she bombs her first test. And now her future isn't so certain. Worse, she's not sure she wants it anymore. Salvation comes from an unlikely place-a used bookstore and the sexy Ben Fisher, the passionate college senior who works there.
Ben is trapped in a life mapped out for him. Trapped in a future career as a lawyer to make his father happy. Trapped pursuing a girl he doesn't even like because she fits into a world he doesn't want but can't escape. But then he meets the beautiful and quirky Hannah. And for the first time, he knows what it means to truly want something.
So he gives in to being her friend. Then to wanting her. Then to kissing her. But freedom comes with a cost, and it isn't long before their carefully planned lives begin to fall apart...
Kassiah: I love Amanda Weaver with the fire of a thousand suns. I’ve been a huge fan for a long time and couldn’t wait to read this book. I had forgotten the magic she casts with her mesmerizing stories and characters. What a treat!
While in the middle of an existential crisis, Hannah meets and flails over bookworm Ben in the bookstore he works in. Ben’s got his life planned out for him and pretty much doesn’t know what hits him when he finds himself falling for Hannah. As they’re falling for each other, all of their plans for their lives are falling apart. You know what happens, but what you might not expect is how they get there. Despite the predictable storyline, I loved these characters and hope that Weaver is planning a companion book for their friends.
There were things I loved loved loved, like Hannah. And her relationship with Ben. And the focus on books. I didn’t love Ben not standing up to his father, but I guess I get it. I still don’t stand up to my mom, and I’m old. I wanted more of Hannah and Ben, and like I said, I hope this isn’t the end for them.
When it all comes down to it, I couldn’t put this book down–I loved every word. It was sweet and swoony and everything I wanted.
