Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this as much as I did A Little Something Different - whereas that felt original and whimsical, this book felt predictable, rushed and entirely cliched.  The main characters were cute and the romance between them could have been good, but there was too much peripheral stuff going on for it to ever really take off. It also drove me nuts the way the adults were portrayed and they didn't resemble any responsible adult I've ever met - it was quite a cringey read at times.

Ultimately, this book suffered largely due to its short length, and its attempt to do too much in too short a period of time.  It was jam packed full of storylines, none of which were satisfactorily resolved.  Also, the conflict throughout the book was always resolved much too quickly and almost shoved to the side, like there wasn't enough time for it and we needed to move on to the next thing now.  The ending was an example of this, with an argument resolved quite abruptly.  Ultimately, I didn't really enjoy this - 2 stars.
