“I love you as a friend, Nat. I love you as a sister. I love you as a neighbor, a school mate, and a dozen other things. I simply want to know if I love you as a girl, and maybe if you can love me in return.”
Nadia Asbury knew everything there was to know about Paterson Radovich, his likes and dislikes, what viruses and injuries he’d had, and every Christmas present he’d received since they were ten. He was, after all, her best friend. Yet asked out on a date, she wonders if she knows him at all.
“Trust me,” he says.
And, yes, well, she does, and him more than any other person she knows. But maybe now she doesn’t trust herself because what if this is all in vain? What if after all his efforts, she doesn’t feel anything? Scarier still, what if she does?
From the author of ME & TIMOTHY COOPER, I KISSED THE BOY NEXT DOOR, and THE BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE comes another feel-good romance of that precious moment when a boy and a girl first fall in love.
Best-selling author, Suzanne D. Williams, is a native Floridian, wife, mother, and photographer. She is the author of both nonfiction and fiction books.
I started this book a couple of nights ago, but only made it to 15% before being interrupted. I'm a busy mom. Anyway, my daughter woke at 4a.m. this morning and after I got her back to sleep, I picked up my Kindle and read the last 85%. I'm not a big romance reader, but I think that's because the couple times I've read romance in my past, it wasn't realistic or it was too dirty. This book reminded me of watching "Dawson's Creek" but it was quite clean. It has a mild Christian theme but nothing so preachy that would turn a non-Christian off. Nadia and Paterson go through the same thing that a lot of friends do. This is a light and fun read that is funny in places. It has a happy ending, which I like. In this day and time when television and books are so full of filth, it's nice to see that there are still people who write and appreciate the innocence and purity young relationships should have. And thank goodness there were no references such as "eye candy" and the typical "butterflies in my stomach." I'm so glad this was the first book I read by this author. I'm now an official fan.
This quick read was a fun reminder of what it is like to be a teen. Unsure of themselves, unsure of the changes within them, a little peer pressure thrown in. Add in a little bit of growing up and THOSE changes, and you have the perfect story for childhood best friends and what happens when one of them change the rules. Teens are funny creatures and this is a perfect reminder to adults what it was like "way back then", and a great read for teens to let them know that they are not alone with their thoughts, uncertainties, and how the simplest of things can be misunderstood and bring the drama they are so famous for.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review, this book does not disappoint in any way.
First, thanks to the author, Suzanne Williams, for providing me with a downloadable copy in exchange for an honest review.
I had so much fun reading this story. It is a quick read about teens and their feelings and insecurities. This is a great book for all teens and YA to read. As it will certainly feel they are reading about "real stuff".
This book is so cute. If you are looking for a quick read that will put a smile on your face this is the book. Easy reading with cute characters. I liked it:))
seperti biasa suzanne bikin cerita singkat tapi manis dan menyenangkan. yang ini gak terkecuali. seperi biasa tokoh utamanya adalah anak2 baik dengan pergaulan yang terkontrol. suka deh
Honestly boring, but I respect the author's efforts to write a cute story. This one is great if you're starting on the habit of reading and wanna do something quick and easy.
