Unfortunately this book has gone in my DNF pile. It just wasn't engaging me like it would have years ago when I first requested it. My reading tastes have changed a lot over the years as I've gotten older and unfortunately some of the books requested years ago have been affected by my reading tastes and the fact that a lot of books for younger audiences haven't been grasping my attention as of late. I thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I requested this one back in the day as I had every intention of reading it. However, its been years and I still haven't gotten around to it and while I feel guilty at not reviewing a book I think that I need to admit to myself that I won't be reading this one anytime soon....if at all.

Zoe, this books heroine, is the reason I stopped reading YA books. I can't stand heroines like her. She was an immature drama queen who had so much potential at first but ruined everything in the process. She was trying to do something good like being mad at Grant, but her eyes were searching the room for him and he was making her melt. I don't like heroines who forget everything because a guy is hot. She should have gone and get rid of him, but nooooooooooo she was too weak to resist him. Girls like her are the reason men will never take us seriously. Also I felt like she was a very manipulative person and I didn't like it.

Usually, the heroes in YA books have better personalities, but Grant was borderline abusive. And that comes from a person who didn't give a second thought about the relationship on Fifty shades of grey. Zoe should have let go of Grant when he was checking out a blonde while he was on a date with her (that happened in the 68% mark in the book). I couldn't believe that after he had so many doubts about her, left her deal with his ex on her own, did nothing to prove Zoe's brother wrong, was flirting with half the towns population and many other things he was accusing Zoe of not trusting him. I believed that he had done because he gave me no reason to trust him. He started a fight with Zoe on their date so he could go for the blonde. And he was acting super jealous when Zoe was talking to some guy. but when two girls (i think they were blonde too) sat at Zoe's chair and talked to him when she was in the bathroom and spoke badly to her when she returned, spoke to him it was ok. You know what he said to Zoe? He liked that one of the two girls showed interest in him because he liked her a couple of years ago. And he defended them when they said some awful things to Zoe because she didn't have the money they had. Zoe is a not rich farm girl and Grant comes from money so their way of thinking comes from two different worlds. Grant kept thinking which kind of girl is the best for him and Zoe never fit the bill. I couldn't believe it when he mentioned how hot his ex was with her new haircut. Zoe should have thrown him out and moved on to someone better.

All the characters main and minor seem to have very colorful personalities which threw me a little off. Usually, books have one or two characters with the kind of personality these people had. From Grant's friend to Grant's dad, to Zoe's friend, these people were not exactly my definition of normal. I just couldn't believe so many people with so many unique personalities and ways of living would live in the same town.

To sum it up, this book wasn't for me and I won't be recommending it. I am not sure if someone else will like it, so I would suggest to read it from the library. I hope Zoe's friend will be the one to get a book next because I want to read her story.

Wasn't for me, found it too hard to get into the story an characters. Thanks for letting me try your books. But will try author again thow.

I really love the frist book in this series, but unfortunately, I did not enjoy this book as much as I'd hoped to. It was a cute YA book. Even though I didn't love it as much as the first one, I still enjoyed it and laughed while reading it.

I really liked Zoey she was fun, sassy, and confident, but sometimes she also got on my nerves. Zoey and Grant had great chemistry in the beginning and they make me laugh. Zoey's Grandma, Monica, I just lover her. Although, I really liked Zoey's best friend, Delia ane they made a god the duo.

But somewhere along the way it started to lose a little bit of the sparkle. Honestly, Grant was not in my book a god bookboyfriend. He kept weighing pros and cons about being with Zoe, but there was no overall excitement, or just *want* to be with her. I never felt it. I enjoyed it in the beginning a bit more. I didn't buy their relationship development at all, I didn't even buy that Grant wanted to be with Zoe in the end. And quite frankly, I thought Zoe could do better.
