Reviews

[Baroness Book Trove]

Love on the Lifts by Rachel Hawthorne is a cute teen romance book that is reminiscent of the mid-2000s time frame that it was written.

Is Kate into Brad?

Kate Kennedy

Kate Kennedy is our main character and point of view as well. We travel this book through her eyes, and sometimes it does seem like she is a significant airhead. Trust me, I had moments where I thunked my head at how stupid Kate was being, but other times I was awwing. Kate is a character that started a bit weird, but then she grew within the three weeks that went by. 

What I like about her is that Kate does grow into someone that I wouldn't mind being her friend. She does help her aunt in her bookstore/hot chocolate bar called A Novel Place. 

Joe

Joe is the other friend that Kate's brother, Sam, brings on the trip. He is more like that boy next door type of guy, and he does things that made me like him more than Brad. Joe knows what he wants in life even though the one person he wants, doesn't know that he exists. These two are pretty cute.

I liked Joe, his entire personality, and how he is around Kate.

Brad Cooper

Brad is Kate's first love interest, and her friends try to get the two of them together a lot. He is just the stereotype player guy. You know the one that girls want to date because of his good looks. Then they try to talk to him, and they hopefully realize he is a jerk. Brad isn't a special type of guy, and Kate figures that out.

I didn't like anything about Brad. He couldn't even remember Kate's name.

Four Stars for Love on the Lifts by Rachel Hawthorne

Ms. Hawthorne has created a beautiful little community in Snow Angel Valley, Colorado, and it's lovely. Sure the girls were a bit focused on getting guys, but they are seventeen-year-olds who just wanted a romantic ski winter break. I like the overall story for this book, and I am giving it four stars. If you are a reader of young adult romance books, this is a good one for you.
