Call Me, Maybe
by Liz Czukas, Ellie Cahill
ARC kindly provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a great book for a quick read. The phone swap idea was clever and not something I've come across in a novel before. I liked how Clementine and Justin communicated and were civil about the whole thing. And of course how you could see that this could be the start of something.
I felt like I could connect with Clementine, the main character. Not in terms of the fact that she comes from a rich family that has all these expectations, but the fact that she's an avid reader, book reviewer and once you strip away the part of her to do with the richness of her family, she's really just another normal young girl.
I can understand why she does what she does in terms of giving Justin a fake last name, and not actually coming clean about who she was, especially with the things in her past. I mean, you never can be too careful when it comes to suspicions of people using you, whether its because of money or not. I never thought Justin was the type of character to do that, but I understand why she did it. When you come from that much money, you never can be too careful who you trust. It would be hard to try and work out who was using you for your name and money, and who was a genuine person.
I thought the relationship between Clementine and Justin progressed rather quickly, but I did like how well the fit together. Justin was quite the charmer and has quite the easy going personality. I really liked how both main characters were intellectual and found that attractive in each other. Putting across the message that book nerds can be sexy too, right?
I liked how things progressed by the end of the novel and how it ended. It wasn't too over the top, but it wasn't too easy either. Clementine had to come to a few realisations before she was able to man up and make a decision about what to do.
Overall this was a fun and quick read. Not too serious but not too fluffy either. I was definitely able to connect to the characters and feel their emotions. I would recommend this for anyone who likes bit of romance or who just thinks it sounds like a good book. Go for it!
