Synopis: Fans of Sarah Dessen, Stephanie Perkins, and Jenny Han will delight as the fireworks spark and the secrets fly in this delicious summer romance from a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. When Jade decided to spend the summer with her aunt in California, she thought she knew what she was getting into. But nothing could have prepared her for Quentin. Jade hasn't been in suburbia long and even she knows her annoying (and annoyingly cute) next-door neighbor spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E. And when Quentin learns Jade plans to spend her first American summer hiding out reading books, he refuses to be ignored. Sneaking out, staying up, and even a midnight swim, Quentin is determined to give Jade days--and nights--worth remembering. But despite their storybook-perfect romance, every time Jade moves closer, Quentin pulls away. And when rumors of a jilted ex-girlfriend come to light, Jade knows Quentin is hiding a secret--and she's determined to find out what it is. Review: I adored this book! It was such a sweet and interesting story. I liked the parallels. I can’t talk about them because it will give away the storyline, but I will say that it was perfect and well thought-out. I felt bad for what Jade went through on her side of the parallel; it was horrible. Quentin was on the opposite spectrum. He was amazing and as he should be. An amazing character! I loved Jade’s mom! She was so cool and so loving. She wasn’t your typical mom; she was literally a rock star. And though Jade had always lived life on the road, she was more mature than most teenagers and wanted to settle down rather than travel. That doesn’t mean she didn’t make mistakes, because she did. Her aunt was a bit overbearing. That irked me a lot. At the same time, she had never raised a teenager and had her own assumptions on how Jade had been raised. She was mostly wrong. And you know what they say about assuming. Yeah, that’s how I felt about her. Not my favorite character, but she wasn’t bad either. I hope Nicole Williams comes back to this story. It reminds me a bit of Lucy and Jude in Crash. And I don’t think anyone could get enough of them. I know I now want to reread their story. Just as I will probably reread Jade and Quentin’s. 5-Stars!
