Shuffle, Repeat

by Jen Klein

When Harry Met Sally for YA romance readers. This opposites-attract love story is perfect for fans of Huntley Fitzpatrick, Stephanie Perkins, and Jenny Han.
 
June wants high school to end and real life to begin. Oliver is soaking up senior year’s glory days. They could have coasted through high school, knowing about—but not really knowing—each other.
 
Except that their moms have arranged for Oliver to drive June to school. Every. Single. Day.
 
Suddenly these two opposites are fighting about music, life . . . pretty much everything. But love is unpredictable. When promises—and hearts—get broken, Oliver and June must figure out what really matters. And then fight for it.

"Addictive. Fans of Deb Caletti and Sarah Dessen will enjoy this sweet romance." --SLJ

"An entertaining and even touching romance." --Kirkus Reviews

"Wonderfully readable, this lively first-person narrative is satisfying from the first fractious car ride right down to the unabashedly happy ending. A fine romance." --Booklist

It didn't happen slowly. It happened all at once, when I fell in love with this book. I saw the possibilities from the very beginning and thought Klein did a fantastic job telling this tale. I did grow quite frustrated with June and had to remind myself that there was some sort of baggage getting in the way. It was a pleasure watching her slowly change under Oliver's influence. Seeing her stretch her wings a little, trying new things, and finding that she sort of liked many of those things she had deemed unimportant. But the star of this book was the friendship between June and Oliver. I will concede that it had those When Harry Meet Sally vibes, and their car rides were everything for me.

Actual rating is 3.5 stars. It was cute, but there were two issues for me:

1) OMG June was judgemental. It was part of her character development, so I get that, but she could be super annoying. She had this mentality like, "Because you're a jock, you surely do x and y, but you suck at z. This is true just because you're a jock." Ugh.

2) The book just kind of fizzled for me a bit by the end. I wasn't really glued to it and I think I lost some of my investment.

Still a fun read though!
