Author: Kasie West Summary By: Alyssa T.

When I first saw this book I didn't find it interesting because it seemed like a book that wasn't the type of genre(s) I like. But after I started reading a couple chapters and I gave the book a chance. I was surprised because I actually told myself I liked the book so far. This book has a romantic and a little bit of humor in some parts of the book genre. But I suggest this book by Kasie West to people who like romantic and humorous books.

In this book a girl named Caymen who technically runs her mom’s doll store and one day meets her and her mom’s favorite customer’s grandson Xander. Caymen is shocked that (Xander) the handsome, young, and rich man was the customer’s grandson. And well both of them start talking to each other for days. As they keep talking throughout the days, they start getting closer to each other. But Xander takes Caymen to his father’s hotel that he technically runs too. Caymen thinks that Xander’s father does not get a good first impression out of her since he doesn't really talk to her or pays attention to her. Since Caymen starts liking Xander more than a friend she doesn't tell anyone and she tries to act more normal than what she thinks she is so she can make a good impression to Xander. Caymen thinks that Xander isn't interested in her because she’s not like him.

Both Caymen and Xander have similarities in life with their the jobs that they work for their parents. Xander takes Caymen to fancy places that she has never been, so she doesn’t know what to expect. And Caymen takes Xander to places he’s never been to too. Since Xander and Caymen talk to each other about their lives and about themselves, Caymen takes Xander to places where he can be free and do things he’s never done in his life. And the one place Caymen takes Xander where it looks like she didn't make a good impression since she doesn’t have the money to take him to the places he’s used to going. Caymen now thinks that she isn't worth being the right girlfriend for him since she is not really like him. She thinks that Xander doesn't like her, but is she right about what she thinks?

“There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future.
But through whatever you see,
through all the rain and the pain,
you gotta keep your sense of humor.
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit.
Remember that.”
― Tupac Shakur
