review 1: I think I had this backwards because this is a prequel? Oh well.I liked this book. I don't know why, because insta-love is not my thing. Probably because I read too many books with banter and love/hate and kinda wanted to go back to simple high school romance. It's amazing because a few week ago I would've hated this book in an instant.Nate is very likable. To me, he felt real. He wasn't pretending to be anyone else. Sure the insta-love feeling was a little over the top but I wasn't agitated by it. Probably because it felt right between him and Emi. As for Emi, she seemed like a little biatch but this is a girl whose dad cheated on her mom, regardless of his reason. She's young and had not experience love, of course she would not understand his reasons. And it's a little f... morerustrating how she wanted Nate but didn't want to be with him as well. But I guess I'll have to read the next book to find out how that goes.I really enjoyed this book. Doesn't really have that romance element but I felt like it is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. And frustrating too.
review 2: 5 Not today Stars This is the prequel to the series and serious this is one of the best prequels I have ever run into and I am lucky and got to snag this one for free. Emi was moved in the middle of her school year after discovering her father cheating in public. She has to transfer school and find something besides chocolate to consume because chocolate reminds her of her father feeding his mistress strawberries and chocolate. After she fights going to school for 4 days she finally goes to school and walks into it blindly. She is not ready to be happy, to find love or even friendship for fear of another betrayel she cant handle. Nate comes off at the beginning as a little rough around the edges and just floating through campus after his girlfriend left him for his friend. Emi and her sister have a falling out because her sister comes home and tells her she is pregnant and getting married after 2 months of knowing someone and Emi takes off into the city she doesn’t know. Nate tries to find her and figure out what haunts her so besides the color of her eyes. Due to the weather being very bad Nate brings her to his house ( or mansion) and they stay up painting and listening to music. Nate is a wise character and says many profound things while he is still a teenager (so there are those teenagy moments) Emi and Nate have that perfect friendship and you vie for a perfect relationship Not today, but maybe someday. They make bets against eachother and I love their easy banter. Emi convinced Nate to quit smoking by saying they will have their last smoke together (it was Emis first time) and Emi also bet Nate if they both take a 1.5 year oath of celibacy they may be together. Not today, but maybe someday. less
