Yay! This one sounds particularly good. And I liked how you talked about college students doing different things than going to bars and such. I went to a pretty big party college, and there was a huge pressure to go downtown and drink at night. If you didn't do that your freshman year, people looked at you weird, which I hated! <br /><br />Love that the romance was so good! And I think the "good girl" and "bad boy" formula is so easy to fall into. It's a trap that's very hard to resist, but it is nice when you find a book that's able to subvert that trope.

That's probably why I'm not so harsh on NA books as most people. <br /><br />I think I would like this book. I might read it sometime if I'm looking for a good NA book to read.

I liked how there wasn't any over-dramatic past or whatever haunting the characters. The romance was definitely what made this book entertaining. Pepper and Reece had great chemistry together. <br />When you were talking about how unrealistic some NA books are when it comes to college life, I thought of this one book that I read recently, 3 A.M Kisses by Addison Moore. My goodness, that book was AWFUL. All the kids did in that book was have sex and all kinds of orgies 24/7. I know people have sex in college but that book exaggerated it so much. The main character in that one never gets to bond or talk to her roommate because her roommate is constantly having sex, in her presence by the way. It was beyond ridiculous but it got a good laugh out of me.<br />Anyways, I'm glad that you enjoyed this book despite some parts of the book being "New-Adulty"! ;)<br />Great review, Alyssa!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-40632761141713497082013-10-21T03:28:53.483-04:002013-10-21T03:28:53.483-04:00I would certainly be delighted to read a NA books ...I would certainly be delighted to read a NA books that deals with adventurous events instead of going to bars and get drunk.
