My Rating, Summary and Review
✶✶✶✶
Sydney is one semester away from graduating from Addison
College and not really sure what the future holds for her. She doesn't have a close relationship with
her mother and she's never actually met her dad. Due to events that have happened back at
home, she doesn't have a large circle of friends at school and spends a lot of
time with her best friend Henry.
For the past 14 weeks, she's been in a creative writing
class with a professor that she's attracted to and has dreams about getting him
to notice her, so she's beyond ecstatic when he leaves her a rave review on the
last essay that she writes for the class and even more excited when she
discovers an email from him in her inbox, praising her again and telling her to
keep in touch with him even though the class has ended. Feeling more confident in flirting with him
behind the safety of her computer screen than in person, she finds herself in
the midst of a serious cyber flirtation, which quickly escalates. Henry knows all about her crush on the
professor and has been encouraging her to continue the online fliration and
even helps her by taking pictures of her in compromising positions. But the photography session heats up between
Henry and Sydney and she is surprised to find that she has begun to have
feelings for her best friend and even more surprised to find that he too has
had feelings for her all along. So
where does leave things between her and the professor?
I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read, but it
packed steam and emotions and even though I was able to figure out certain
aspects before they were revealed there were a few unexpected twists and turns
along the way. Without giving away any
spoilers, there's a part of Sydney's past that comes out and helps to explain why
she has such a hard time trusting people and why she hasn't been able to tell
people her deepest darkest secrets.
I liked Sydney but I really loved Henry. I know he had his reasons for his actions so
I was able to overlook certain things that came out near the end of the
book. I'm a little sad that it ended
with a cliffhanger because I was really hoping that things would work out for
Sydney and the man that she chose, so I'll be keeping my eye out for book #2,
When It's Over to see what happens next.
I received a copy of When It's Love by Emma Lauren in
exchange for an honest review.
