At the start of her senior year in high school, Sara wants two things: to get into a top college and to find true love.Tobey also wants two things for his senior year: to win Battle of the Bands and to make Sara fall in love with him. However, a popular jock named Dave moves in on Sara first. But Tobey’s quirky wit and big blue eyes are hard for Sara to ignore. Plus, he gets the little things that matter to her. Can a slacker rock-star wannabe win the heart of a pretty class brain like Sara?
Hilariously and movingly told through Tobey and Sara’s authentic voices, Susane Colasanti’s debut novel sizzles in its portrayal of two young people searching for The One. -Goodreads
Susane Colasanti is one of my absolute favorite authors when it comes to teen romance. She writes them so realistically and it is possible for readers to relate to the characters. This book was absolutely one of her best in my opinion. The plot line is really good. The main characters, Sara and Tobey, are two hilarious people. Sometimes as I read the book I have the stupid grin on my face (You know what I'm talking about).
Sara is your typical teenage girl looking for true love. She has yet to figure who she loves and is looking for The One. She is an artsy girl with two best friends and lives with her mom. She has been crushing on a transfer student Dave for about a year but then Tobey is starting to enter her life and she becomes conflicted. She soon figures out the truth beneath the lies and realizes who The One is.
Tobey is your typical mystery guy. He's in a band, has those gorgeous blue eyes and has an ex pursuing him. He's actually the kind of person that doesn't try yet passes classes (I happen to be that kind of person also). He's the type to be persistent and pursue the something he wants.
The two people combined bring out such cute quirks out of each other and themselves. Both are two totally different people but as they say,"Opposites Attract."
