I still haven't read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight (but I REALLY want to!) so I'm not sure how I feel about Jennifer E. Smith's writing yet. Once I read that one I'll have to decide whether or not to read this one too. It sounds cute, but if it's just gonna be meh I think I'll want to read something else. :)Julia @ That Hapa Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04961460353502898001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-12651689495930158122013-04-01T19:00:50.853-04:002013-04-01T19:00:50.853-04:00I've heard good and bad things about this one....I've heard good and bad things about this one.

So I'm honestly not very hopeful about this one, but I do enjoy an occasional light romance so I'll keep it in mind for one such occasion.Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-29312908021418289832013-04-01T13:23:30.392-04:002013-04-01T13:23:30.392-04:00Thanks for the review!

Agreed completely on the nature of the covers and how beautiful/different they are. They represent her books well.

I understand what you mean about just wanting the sweet romance without added secondary dramas like family issues, I just finished a book with what felt like 3095820948 side stories that took the focus off the main couple and it drove me crazy. It didn't bother me so much here though and I ended up really liking this one:) Fabulous review though!!!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-27844606133343845042013-04-01T09:58:12.031-04:002013-04-01T09:58:12.031-04:00I appreciate your balanced reviews.

Sometimes the anticipation is the best part -- the will they or won't they of it all. Even though the attraction fizzled in "real" life, it still sounds cute.
