description

What a lovely idea! I've had my fair share of wrong numbers and I'm actually pretty good friends with one of them so I was super excited to read this one. And I'm sure, in some unrealistic world, where unicorns exist and strangers don't snatch people off the streets, this novel would have been such a delight to read. However, we don't. And these characters a very flimsy and it's evident from only reading like, a chapter that she worked very hard on creating a beautiful romance and not enough making the characters believable. James doesn't bother calling people back about their furniture yet goes out of his way to help this one girl out after talking to her once? Hell no.

Even after just how unrealistic this romance started, I kept reading on to the next chapter where I drew the line. This is a contemporary novel and I expect it to be as realistic as possible minus some things but nothing about this book is at all realistic. It's soo contrived and sloppily done and I just didn't have the heart to go on anymore.

Melanie Page I don't know that I would call this book a romance. There was so much more that happened that wasn't "the warm and fuzzies" that I appreciated reading a in a book about teens.
