So the first moment I lay my eyes on this book, I think it'll be the cheesy story of a girl's love life, where she's a damsel in distress. Well, clearly and happily, I stand corrected. This story, however, is about a girl's love life, but it's not cheesy AT ALL. I fell in love with it at the first page. This story is super unique, and original.
Julie (aka Jules): Is your typical shy, not outgoing girl. She loves to read and write, and one lucky day, she finds an amazing site called Wattpad where you get to post your writing and read other people's. She posts her work.. and one day, a mysterious boy going by the name of Darkpoet, replies to her work with rude comments. She's angry, and she texts back. They go back and forth like that. Soon, they start to realize that what they have isn't simply friendship. What I really loved about Julie is that she's not perfect. She isn't your blond, popular, pretty cheerleader like most of the characters in the stories these days. She's kind of geeky and shy- but not a nerd. She sucks at math.
Evan (aka Darkpoet): Evan.. is Julie's crush. He's dark, mysterious, a great poet, hot, and Julie's just attracted to him. He was abused in his past. His dad murdered his mom, and then committed suicide. So, like most kids who've had a hard past, he's very reserved and distant. He never tells anything to Julie and.. Just mysterious. He doesn't want anyone to pity him, and he suddenly turns cold when Julie tries to find out where he lives.
Shane: Shane is your high school football guy, with a six/eight pack. He's the school's playboy, and he never sticks with one girl. He's hot, has muscles, a jerk, and basically, every girl falls for him. Except Julie. Sure, she's noticed his good looks. She believes that he has a good, nice side inside his mask. Slowly, Shane starts to fall for Julie, the unpopular and not-that-pretty-girl. He knows she loves Evan, and that makes him want her even more. I really felt sorry for him. He's a good guy- deep inside.
One word: Original and Creative. Okay, fine, that was two. Anyway, what I really loved was that I've never seen a story like this before. I saw it on Wattpad (Yeah, it's a real site) and it was truly amazing. I thought my story was pretty good, and then I read this. I was like, Yeah... I suck. XD Also.. The author is HILARIOUS. She has a sense of humor. Every chapter I laughed so hard. Like today, I read this at 6 in the morning and I laughed so hard that I woke everyone up. A must-read for sure.
Amazing story. A definite page-turner and makes you want to read more no matter what.
5 stars for the characters, 5 stars for the plot, 5 stars for the sense of humor, 5 stars again for amazing characters. Yayy!!! Excellent job!
