Every day in chemistry class, high school student and aspiring songwriter Lily Abbott is finding notes left to her by a mystery boy, love letters really, and she hopes they are from Lucas, a boy she is attracted to--so when she finds out they are really from, she is shocked and unsure about how to respond.
In a world of way too many angsty young adult books, Kasie West stands out in her ability to write in such a way that is appropriate for young adults, and yet doesn’t have stilted dialog or too much angst. Though Lily certainly had her share of troubles, the overall tone of the story was hopeful and light. The story was told in Lily’s perspective which was perfect. It didn’t give away who the mysterious note writer was and left room for speculation. The story was great and just right after a stressful day. Though it is written for a younger audience, this mature reader enjoyed it very much.
