My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

My Thoughts;

I had this book on my kindle forever so I was definitely interested in finally getting around to reading it and having a chance to be on the tour definitely gave me a chance to fit this one into my schedule and it was everything that I was expecting it to be and definitely one of those books that I was just in the mood for a good old fashioned love story. Stanton created a cute and adorable story that I really enjoyed that wasn't without it's flaws but, kept me reading and definitely had me wanting to read the rest of the story because  I  enjoyed it so much.

Libby has not had an easy past few years of her life, after her mom and sister are killed in a car accident, her dad who is depressed and driven by grief leaves her in the care of her aunt who is not  someone who should be taking care of a child to say the least. Libby loves  drawing and spends her time in the forest drawing whatever she see's. A chance encounter happens  when a tour bus stops to have lunch and a chance encounter with a boy named Peter changes everything.

  I will admit that the story did have a bit of insta-love but it didn't bother me, if you  are looking for a quick and cute YA romance this book is definitely up your alley, I feel in love with Libby and Peter and I couldn't wait to read more about the two of them.  I fell for Libby she was trying so hard and having to read about her life with her aunt made me so angry. Peter was devoted and adorable and I loved the two of them together.
