Прочитала книгу за 2 часа. Такая милая, детская книжечка, легко читается. Моя самая любимая тема - отношения между лучшими друзьями, так редко встречается, поэтому так приятно читать. Герои, конечно, глупые, но милые. Не пожалела, что почитала, всем советую. Экшна совсем мало, но романтика и дружба есть.
Вообще такие "древние-современные" книги я редко читаю (только книги Л.Дж.Смит и Э.Чандлер), но эта не разочаровала.

i have this book! i've read this way back in college and I can say that this is the best book from love stories series

[Carla Parreira]

Li esse livro na epoca da escola e tínhamos que fazer uma encenação da história. A história do livro é um light romance para adolescentes e já andei rindo sozinha de lembrar-me da personagem que fiz: a Nina dançando (precisamente na parte do capítulo cinco). Parece que foi ontem que estive em cima de um palco com os cabelos amarrados de maria-chiquinha pulando feito uma abobalhada no salão superior da escola Adventista. Não houve quem não riu de mim e eu mesma lembro que mais ria do que figurava a personagem. Acho que nunca vou me esquecer daquilo e de tantas outras maluquices vividas no tempo em que estudava. Quando me pego pensando no passado sinto como se ele não houvesse passado e eu ainda estivesse lá atrás. E se me é possível ter a licença de responder a pergunta que a autora faz na introdução do livro, digo em resumo a toda a história, que o amor pode ser um jogo sim, mas com inúmeras conseqüências que geralmente são as mais imprevisíveis. O livro demonstra claramente que podemos encontrar o amor bem ‘debaixo do nariz’, mas, na minha opinião, uma amizade que vira namoro nunca foi apenas amizade, mesmo que assim aparentasse ou fosse sentido por ambos.

OMG. I read this book back in high school a hundred years ago. Don't know how I found it here on goodreads.. But what a soul touching reminder of my high-school days. Can't wait for my soon-to-be teen girls to grow up already so I can share these books with them. I remember this was one of my favorites from the LoveStory series and the names of Delia and Cain have stuck with me and have even made it to numerous passwords and codes all of these years. Dazed..!!!

This is the last of the books I'm reading because I loved them in my youth and let me just tell you, how times have changed. Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate it. I just couldn't for the life of me get into this time. This time around, the characters seemed silly, the problems exaggerated and the reactions ridiculous. Honestly, people, have a conversation would you?

It was a fine read, just not quite the gem I remember sadly :(

How do I buy thibook

[Soobie has fog in her brain · Rating 5 out of 5]

L'avrò letto almeno una decina di volte questo libretto. Di tutta la serie Batticuore era il migliore.

La scena in cui i due guardavano il film al telefono mi è sempre piaciuto un sacco.

Sì, c'è un cuoricino che batte sotto tutto questo cinismo. ^__^

A tredici anni, Soobie scriveva:

Bel libro. Caine e Delia sono amici per la pelle e all'inizio della quarta liceo fanno una scommessa: chi di loro due s'innamora, veramente, per primo. Entrambi si innamorano di due ragazzi. Alla fine si innamorano l'uno dell'altra.

I read this book quite a while ago as a request for school in which we could choose the book we're going to read.
I didn't regret it at all! It's so well written, the main characters seemed to be really true, being best friends that have fallen in love and were afraid of demonstrate each other due to the fear of ruining their friendship.
It's a simple love story but I'm sure you'll be caught as soon as you start it!

oh wow, I found all these books I have read when I was younger and sillier. I don't remember ALL of the "Love Stories" books (and I bought like, 10 of them with my sister) but this one was one of my favorites. Although the cover was NOT like that.. He was soooo hot.

And he was named Roger (in the Spanish Edition), and she was NOT Delia... Hmmmph.. what was her name? I have to go and check **goes and check*** There! She was Claudia.

[Katharina · Rating 2 out of 5]

Cute story, cute characters. I liked the friendship between Cain and Delia, and I found it quite believable. It's been especially interesting to experience falling in love through Delia's eyes, who hasn't been interested in boys before. However, I guess it'll have a bigger appeal on 13-year-old girls who just recently got attracted to boys.

Proper review coming soon!

This book is slated for a re-read as part of Shelf Love, my way of going back to my old shelf and re-reading books that I haven't done a proper review yet.

Thank you!

La historia no es gran cosa...pero yo, siendo una adolescente(si, fue hace bastante) con serias tendencias a caer en brazo de mis amigos.... amaba esta historia....

God, I loved that book as a teenager. I just found it in an old box and HAD to re-read it. It still makes me feel all the feelings.
