The synopsis, while true, doesn't really capture the smitten, playful tone of the book or the way everything changes for Grayson and Avery in one very shocking moment. And Oram obviously knows there's nothing quite so appealing as a guy who admits what he wants and goes for it.
And the thing I really loved was that what he wanted was to help her. Truly. He wanted her to be confident and emotionally stable and it made him a really good guy. And I liked that his touch calmed her. That was a sweet, interesting aspect to their relationship.
You'd think Grayson would be the appeal of the book because he's all determined and sweet and charming. But the real element that makes this book so much fun is the colorful cast of characters around them. The cool kids and the science nerds were all so much fun and made me laugh. If it'd just been Grayson and Avery it would have just been this typical sort of book.
When it's actually like a perfect teen romp comedy - but in a book instead of a movie. This should totally be a 90s teen movie!
