A book about a naughty boy in 1930s. Each chapter is a different mischief. For me it was well-written for the time, but boring. I finished it only because I started it.

It's by no means as good or adventurous as the first one. However, it was and okay read, if you have nothing better to read.

It's a hit or miss depending on the reader's taste. I personally loved it.

First person narrative. I usually hate it, because I hate the narrator, but not in this case. Her writing style is also easy to read and follow.

Bella is just another awkward teenager with a love for classic literature and desire to stay away from teenage drama except if we're talking about Edward Cullen. Some may say that it's exaggerating emotions and situations, but do keep in mind that it's about a teenage girl's first (and last) love and that some people live emotions more intensely than others. I don't, but maybe that's why I liked it so much.

It was the first three-way romance I've read and set the standardsway too high. I haven't found another three-way romance so loving and wholesome as this. The way the relationship and their feelings are described is so natural and warm. Not a masterpiece, but it's easy to read and easier to re-read.
