Review


Gush gush gush gush gush..........

If I didn't gush enough for you then let me break it down for you, I kinda LOVED this book.

I've read so much YA at the minute with instalove, rippling muscles and lopsided smiles ( What the hell is a lopsided smile anyway? I mean try to do one now....GO ON ... see, you look like a total freak, do it in the mirror ......do you look sexy hmm? NO you look like a serial killer! )

Anyway where was I ........ oh yeah gushing haha.
So this was not the usual YA book it was a little bit different.

Julie gets a placement for a university in Boston, gets her bags packed and off she goes, however when she gets there the apartment she has secured is not so much as secure but non existent.
Good old mum calls a friend of hers from years back who tells Julie to go and stay with them.............thats when the weirdness starts.

So Julie is collected by Matt who is a quite handsome but geeky to take her back to the house.

Later she is then joined at dinner by Erin (Mother and a bit of a snob) Roger ( A biologist who studies the excitment of shrimps!) Matt ( Geeky know it all with bad dress sense) Celeste ( Matts younger sister who talks like she is in a period drama) ........And Flat Fin (A lifesize cardboard cut out of the older brother!)
This at dinner is all perfectly normal with everyone no one even bats an eyelid at FF, and they just go about their dinner as normal.

This is also a tiny bit wierd for Julies liking, but then finds out that Fin is travelling around the world and Celeste uses the flat version to compensate for the fact her brother is not there.

Julie settles in nicely and gets close to all of the family especially Matt and Celeste, but most of all Fin.

Ahhhh Finn .....swoon.

Have you ever fallen in love with someone you have never met?
After friending him on facebook and chatting regularly Julie realises that they are falling for each other.

NOW dear readers after reading that little bombshell you would in fact be doing the whole erghhh...... come on Vicci you told us it wasn't an instalove book.

But this book is different....... it's like a jigsaw, you know when you start doing it you find the nice straight edges, fit them together and then the fun begins, and there is always that last piece, that you can not find, and it's always there but it's hiding behind the others. ...THAT IS THIS BOOK.

I laughed out loud
I nearly cried
I shouted OMG at the top of my voice.

What can I say............but gush!
