review 1: Callie meets Nate at the airport on the way to her best friend's wedding and they have a one-night stand... Except, it doesn't end there because they meet again. Turns out Nate is the groom's brother.I like the sweet, heartwarming feel that the Wright family brings to the story. I also like how patient Nate is with Callie, considering all her insecurities and doubts. The plot is fairly simple and easy to get into if you're looking for a light read.What I don't like much is how Nate seems to have the sixth sense to always understand what Callie is feeling. Their attraction isn't enough to make me believe it, and I even find myself a bit exasperated whenever Nate gives her a knowing, sad smile.I also wish Nate could have fought harder for Callie near the end. He did make a c... moreute gesture to lead the way for their happy ending, but I still think he could have done more before all that.
review 2: It was cute, quite funny and expectantly cliche (as the title would suggest), though I think the 'cliche' factor worked well with this book. While I had a fairly decent idea of what would happen, it didn't prevent the enjoyment of reading this book. The characters were entertaining, especially the snarky comments between the main two. There were several times where I laughed out loud, often more than just a giggle. The dialogue was quite cleverly written.My main two qualms with this book are that one, it's too short, and two, it's written in first person. The first person is obviously a personal choice, some people like it, some people don't, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. For this, it took me quite a while to get into the story because it was first person. I'm fairly picky with first person and unless it's done extremely well, I usually don't like it. Often times I found myself jumping out of the story as I'm reminded again and again that I'm only seeing one point of view and it just feels awkward. It broke the mood several times for me which is a shame.This book was definitely too short, not in a "I want more omg so good!" sense but in a "wow things are moving way too fast" sense. I felt like this book could've been MUCH better if it was longer with more details and descriptions added. Some scenes were I could tell they were supposed to be important and "groundbreaking" for the characters (ie the ocean scene with Nate and Callie discussing "difference making") fell quite short. I felt like those moments could have been a lot deeper and more meaningful to drive that character development. I think it would've made the ending that much more powerful.Combining the two problems above, you get the opening scene at the airport. It was a rough start but when things started moving, it got better. I just wish more time was spent on certain scenes and character moments.Nevertheless, the scenes with Nate and Callie together were done quite well and I loved seeing the two of them interact. (Not going to lie, that scene near the end at the cliff was quite adorable.)Overall, I'd give it a strong 4/5 stars. It was good, and to those looking to read some cliche romance (with some sex thrown in), I'd recommend it. less
