Meh.

I realize that I'm not the target audience for Kasie West's books. They're not even in my favorite genres. But as a teacher, I read a lot of things I wouldn't chose for myself so that I can facilitate kids toward books they'll like.

Now I understand how West can churn out three or four books in a year. It's all formula writing. There are no true details anywhere in this book. We are told that Abby is an artist. We don't get any descriptions of her work. We're simply told it's immature and without heart. Then it's better. We are told that Cooper is a racer, but we don't get any details on that or any real description of his racing. The only scene involving a race is more of a cat fight between Abby and Iris. We don't even learn anything about Abby's other two friends or her new friend that she makes in the book beyond surface titles.

The best thing I can say about this book is that it's cute. I liked Fill-In Boyfriend and P.S. I Like You, decently enough. But now after reading the third book by this author, I can see how both of the others I've read are equally as fluff-filled and vapid.

Don't get me wrong. The books aren't awful. They're not good; but they're not awful. I have girls that need light reads and I appreciate that the most intense these romances get are a kiss here or there. But after my girls read one or two of Kasie West's books, I'll start steering them toward Jennifer E. Smith and Sarah Dessen.
