David and Julia are two best friends with a list - a list of
things they swore not to do when they first entered high school. But now
they're in senior year, and they decide that they have to break every single
rule on that list. One rule on the list is the most important - to never date
each other. However, Dave and Julia both have a secret - they've been in love
with each other for as long as they can remember, both too scared to admit
their feelings. Breaking out of their comfort zones, Dave and Julia must find
out what they really mean to each other - and if they're too late to act on
those feelings.
I actually really enjoyed this book. It was different from
what I usually read, and kind of refreshing. The characters were well written,
although some (insignificant) things seemed unrealistic. Many of the
characters, from Dave and Julia to their family and friends, were believable
and all seemed like they could be real people. The adventures and antics that
the characters became involved in were fun to read about, and the love
story/drama was very well written. I think Alsaid did a pretty good job at
portraying school/life as a teenager. It reminds me of John Green's writing,
which is also really good. I think people who enjoy love and teen romance
novels would like this book. Overall, I would recommend this book, even if it isn't
a genre you normally read.
