limeykiss's review against another edition
2.0
I am loath to give a 'Boy' series Cabot book anything but five stars, but alas, this book didn't live up to my expectations! I felt like the story wasn't fully developed. I love a good epistolary novel, but this one needed even more correspondence, in my opinion. It just felt a bit stilted, like it never quite got to the meat of the story. I wanted a deeper understanding of what went on in the two main character's pasts, as well as a deeper understanding of the sibling strife, the parents' issues, the friendship between Leanne and Becky, what happened to Becky's Dad, how long she was going out with Graham, etc. I just wanted more!

I've had a lot going on in my life, and this book was just perfect for right now. It was a light, easy read that had me laughing out loud at times. I've loved this Boy series by Meg Cabot, and although I borrowed this one from the library, I'll most likely be buying it in the future (I have the rest of them in my collection).
I enjoy the email, text, etc. form in this book, but I don't think I could read books in this format too often. It's really fun every once in awhile, but it would get old. I also have to suspend disbelief sometimes when they're having whole long conversations over texts. Sometimes I do feel like it would be nice to read these stories in regular format, because I'd like to read actual, real conversations and stuff. But it's always nice to have a change of pace.

This is one of those quick, fun reads that Meg Cabot is so good at. It wasn't my favorite of hers, but it was definitely worth a read. Her characters are always a tiny bit quirky and fun and I would definitely read this one again at some point.
