Loved it. It was funny, cute, and kept a great pace. I didn't want to put it down, but I also didn't have "withdrawal" if I didn't read it as soon as I got home. (Endless Knight anyone??) It had a Twilight forbidden love feel to it (only much better written), yet it's easily able to stand on its own as not to be thought of as "another Twilight book".

Phoebe and Adam are very likable characters. Their friendship seems a little odd since he's the football star and she's the "goth girl", but since they have been neighbors for years and Adam has a crush on Phoebe, I bought into it. Tommy is... mysterious. I wanted to like him, but at the same time he was a huge question mark for me because there is so much that you don't know about him. Meanwhile, Margi is written as a realistically, annoying best friend that most people don't like, but for some reason you're friends with. The other supporting characters - Karen (who I'm pretty sure is supposed to be the girl on the book cover), Pete, Thorny, Colette, etc - are nicely developed and definitely add welcomed layers to the story.
