Okay so I only bought this book because I saw there were no reviews. I decided to help out the author and see what this was all about. It was 40 pages and I couldn't even read the whole thing. I had to skim over some parts.

It seems like the very, very rough draft to a story idea not even the whole thing. It wasn't interesting, it really had nothing special about it. And everyone talked really awkwardly.

I'm just glad it was short so I didn't have to waist more of my time.

Extremely short story. The writing was good,however, the book was way to short to have time to really develop the characters. There was a lot left out. I feel it left me hanging at the end, I was like "that's it". The author is a good writer, she just needs to really take the time to develop the characters better. There could be so much more to this story, which is definitely an early teen read.

Sweet young adult novella about a HS junior (Roxy) who finally catches feelings for her best male friend (Adam). Unfortunately, she introduced Jyll to Adam and Roxy is worried that she lost her chance with Adam. She spends the who time wondering how she can find out if Adam is still interested in being more than just friends or if he has decided to move forward with Jyll.

There should be a way to leave zero stars because even one is to many for this "book". This is a very very short story with no story line. The characters have no real detail and this went absolutely no where. I dnt even know why it was published.
