About this ebook
Lea and Gabe are in the same creative writing class. They get the same pop-culture references, order the same Chinese food and hang out in the same places. Unfortunately, Lea is reserved, Gabe has issues, and despite their initial mutual crush it looks like they are never going to work things out.
But somehow, even when nothing is going on, something is happening between them, and everyone can see it. Their creative-writing teacher pushes them together. The baristas at the local Starbucks watch their relationship like a TV show. Their bus driver tells his wife about them. The waitress at the diner automatically seats them together. Now they just need to realize that they're meant for each other, and start falling in love . . .
This irresistible romance is told by all the people who are willing love to blossom in a unique multi-voice narrative structure. It is perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell and John Green.

I loved how this simple romance was made unique and special from others. The ideas of multiple POVs really worked for me because it gets you thinking about how some people in reality are oblivious to romantic interests while people around them aren't. You also get to read a range of views surrounding the idea of love that could relate to you in some ways. I had to get used to the different POVs, of course. This book is quirky and has the originality many books lack. It has more of an effect on the reader rather than if it was told from the couples POVs because it makes the reader try and empathize and try to really understand the characters more so they can understand the layout of the plot. I would definitely recommend this!! It's just so different and different is hard to find - it's rare and special.
