Love and friendship are frequent themes that appear not only in life, but in literature. Elizabeth Craft’s Make Mine to Go is a fascinating and fictional book that captured my attention. Her style in writing hooks the readers into reading the book. The word choice and the way she describes the character’s actions was genius. The book probably fits into its genre for its similarity to reality, not of its truth because it reflects off reality. I would recommend this interesting and mysterious book to everyone. The different characteristics that make up this book create an intense atmosphere. Everyone will find this a great book to read because it relates to people of all ages and genders.
Reading this book would lead readers to understanding the different ways of teens thinking about love. This is seen in the book when two best friends, Dylan and Natalie, are in love with each other, but aren’t aware of the other’s feelings. It gets more impassioned and surprising when a best friend of theirs, Sam, just happened to get together with Natalie. To escape from this situation, Dylan would be going to Portland as an excuse to avoid his feelings for Natalie, but it is also a serious matter because he is going for his own business of running the hippest coffee shop in San Francisco, “@café”. On the other hand, Natalie deciding to go to Portland is to know the truth behind the mystery of her mother’s “death”. Together, the love birds will drive to Portland alone- facing the possibility of revealing their true feelings towards each other.
My eyes were glued into the pages of this book especially when reading about Dylan and Natalie. When it’s up to the part about both of them, it makes me want to know what will happen next. Suspense is created in the air every time I read about them. I want to know who will be the one that’ll be more responsible in caring for Sam’s feelings, since Sam is the clueless one.
These characters are all best friends, but they also have a few other friends; Blue, Tanya, and Jason. They’re the staffs of “@café” and each of them has a different personality. Dylan is inspirable, who Natalie and Tanya looks up to. Natalie is lovable because of her appearance and great personality. Sam cares about friends’ feelings and Blue and Jason are clueless, especially about their feelings for each other. Tanya is the smart one, the one who knows when something isn’t going right for a person. Together, they make the best group of friends and they will always know the best times to do and say the right or wrong things.
Reading this inspirable book allows me to understand more about friendship and love. Relationships are not the only source of love. Would a rejection between two best friends affect their friendship? Sadly, I am not sure about that, but I think it depends on how deep the relationship is between these two people. Is telling a white lie appropriate to protect a person’s feelings? This tempting book has taught me about relationships, and I’ve learned a valuable lesson from reading. If you don't want to read a book that'll put you to sleep, grab a copy of this captivating and glamorous book and identify the true values of friendship and love!

This book is insane. Everyone is in some serious shit in this novel. Here's a go:
Sam Bardin loves his girlfriend Natalie van Lenton and worries that he's not good enough for her, but he's trying to juggle family problems while Natalie wants to break up with him because she doesn't feel the same way for him as she does for his best friend, Dylan O'Connor. And Dylan is secretly in love with Natalie, so he desperately tries to hide his true feelings for her when he drives her up to Portland, Oregon to work out family issues, but his car breaks down. He gets mad at everything and everyone and somehow he and Natalie end up kissing and Dylan feels guilty for kissing his best friend's girlfriend, but he doesn't want to deny his feeling for her, because they have both been in love with each other forever and don't know it/won't admit it. Meanwhile, Dylan's sister Blue (a.k.a. Sara Jane) O'Connor can't stop thinking about her best friend Jason Kirk, even though she's sworn off love. Things have gotten antsy between them, so Jason begins dating a girl named Celia, whom he has no true interest for, to distract himseld from Blue, which makes Blue jealous (even though she won't admit it). She reluctantly goes out with Christian Sands, a guy she meets at a club, but can't return his feelings for her and calls it off. Jason doesn't know this, and he, too, is jealous of Blue, but they try to suck it up and act like normal friends, which... fails. The whole reason Blue meets Christian is because Natalie's best friend Tanya has an obsession with this guy named Major Johnson, who claims to have sworn off love, like Blue, saying it has no benefit to anyone. In an attempt to make Major think she is fine without him/trying to make him jealous/etc. after she is driven mad by the sight of him in a mystery girl's arms, she drags Blue to a club with her and flirts like a slut, throwing herself at multiple guys in failing attempts to make him love her, as well as ignoring her own problems by pestering Dylan about his secret love for her best friend, which she knows because she's his ex-girlfriend, which is why Natalie wouldn't date Dylan in the first place...
That's a wrap. This is one juicy rollercoaster ride of a book.
