review 1: So I'm not usually one to review, I just read, rate, and add to shelves and let my shelves do all the talking. However, this book has made me want to write a review. The only reason I am giving it 3 stars and not 2 is because of Ashley, Todd, and Shane. Don't get me wrong, it was a great book, but the description is totally misleading. Only about the last fourth of the book is even about Ashley and Todd. You might as well call it Ryan and Gretchen's book because that's really all it's about. Ryan gets into an accident, Gretchen is all over him, and then whenever Ashley is at school, that coincidentally is all Ashley sees. Between the various comments about how cute she thinks Todd is, it really is only about Ryan and Gretchen and their problems. I haven't seen a snoopier s... moreister. And then there's Sid, who is completely self-centered and can't seem to keep her mouth shut about anything, which is why Ashley can't tell her anything about....sorry, not gonna ruin my review with spoilers. Also, I will admit, I almost couldn't handle all the Ryan and Gretchen for the first half of the book, but then the juicy stuff stuff started. So for those of you who are about halfway through and don't think you can make it, YOU CAN. IT GETS BETTER, I PROMISE. Todd and Ashley are super cute and that's what really got me through this book. To end my review I'll talk about Shane. He is hilarious and one of my favorite book best friends. He is always there for Ashley through all of it and I really like how the author developed his character. Okay, I'm done now. This review wasn't meant to dissuade others from reading this book, it was more to prepare them. Finally, everything here is entirely opinion and I apologize for upsetting anyone that reads this review.
review 2: Excellent, excellent, excellent read. This book engaged me immediately from chapter one and I felt entranced in Ashley's world as if I was walking in her footsteps. As a non-American (without the USA high school experience to draw from) I felt it was an insightful and very real depiction of the trials and tribulations of high school in the states. What's great about Accidental Crush is that it's a romance themed, high school novel with a difference - it's not stuck focusing on the one predictable relationship in the story as many books in its genre are. We get to understand Ashley's world of close friendships, sibling dramas and watch as she navigates her way through the conflicts of her romance with Todd. We see her deal with secrets and rumors of high school that so closely affect all relationships around her. I'd highly recommend this book - it'll keep you guessing to the end. less
