This book was so boring and painful to read. I really hated it.

This is about Gabe and Lea who basically fancy the pants off each other but are too chicken to do anything about it. The story is told through the eyes of the people around them including friends, the bus driver, the teacher and even a squirrel and a bench.

I really thought I would love this book because I kept hearing about how cute it was but I was so bored all the way through. There was so much repetition such as seeing something happen through the eyes of the barista and then having the whole thing retold by Gabe or Lea to a friend. I don't need to hear the whole thing again!

I also felt there was a real sense of inappropriate behaviour by the teacher from talking about her students and what they said to her in private to her wife and then hating on a student because she looked like a Valley girl and more or less labelling her as a whore. I really didn't like it.

I couldn't connect to Lea or Gabe at all. I suffer from shyness now and again like every normal person but the way they were was borderline pathetic and frustrating. I was just rolling my eyes at them the whole time and I couldn't understand why their friends couldn't just tell the other 'Hey Gabe likes you!' Ugh.

This book was just one big fat nope. Do not recommend.
