(Summary from Goodreads). CHARLOTTE Hubbard dreams about falling in love on a daily basis, but she’s long rejected the idea that someone would ever be interested in an overweight, unappealing girl like her; an opinion that is shared by her way more popular and attractive sister who seems to enjoy pointing out Charlotte's flaws as much as possible.
AND . . .
Then there's MILES Fiester, who thinks that making the basketball team is as impossible as getting the girl he’s liked since grade school to notice him. He’d have more luck getting his deadbeat dad to visit him for a day. But, in the first few weeks of high school, Charlotte and Miles come to discover that life is unpredictable, love happens when you least expect it, and there’s always a first for everything.
I received a free copy of this story for an honest review.
This was a really sweet story about first love, finding yourself, and realizing who your true friends are. I honestly give mad props to Charlotte for not taking all the mean comments personally. I was surprised that she didn't start an eating disorder or something from the things her sister or people at school were saying to her and behind her back. It must have taken a lot. I'm not sure how realistic it was that Charlotte didn't take the comments personally… just because bullying is a serious issue.
I think that Miles was a perfect fit for her. I felt so bad for him the whole time because he obviously liked Charlotte, but was too shy to say anything. He was a really fun character to read about and I really liked his point of view on the world.
I liked this story just fine. It was a fun and easy read with likable main characters. I would recommend it to anyone who likes contemporary romance books.
I love how the story ended with Miles' letter. It was the perfect way to end the story.
Four out of five stars.
