enjoyable sweet YA romance

A beautiful enjoyable YA romance.  This engaging story really have me a real sense of small town life in Sweet Water while demonstrating lots of love for family and friends. A feel good romance with lots of push and pull feelings as their relationship develops in this sweet romance. The narrator dis a wonderful job of really bringing the story to life. 

Amazing!

I absolutely loved this book! I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series!

Sweet though a bit superficial

This is a decently written and amusing YA read, for the most part, but I spent the better part of the book wondering how Lucas came to care for Charlotte. Honestly I thought the author might be planning on having it turn out that Lucas latched on to Char as a way to get back at his dad - except there was no triangle for someone else to end up with her if that happened. Or that Char would think that was what Lucas was doing & that would be the boy-loses-girl part of the conflict that would be followed by a better explanation of the situation. It was pretty angsty & Char's not thinking clearly or reacting smart, but it's forgivable. We get hints of Lucas's issues, but I never fully got why he repeatedly acted like such a rude jerk to Charlotte. There's also no additional explanation of Lucas's conversation with his dad about the expectations for him after graduating. Despite my criticisms, I actually enjoyed reading it, but understand going in that it doesn't aspire to anything more than fluffy, amusement to distract you after a long day. *Clean romance level: sweet kisses [The narrator has a pleasant voice & does a great job reading naturally & distinguishing the characters' voices for the listener]

okay

it was okay main character irritated me. she was so whiny and very needy. male lead was okay

sweet teen romance

Charlotte has way too much on her shoulders at such a young age. I really liked her and loved hearing her thoughts!!! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like Lucas but after seeing what he has and is going through I really liked him too. Their interactions were pretty funny. I did struggle with her and her best friend both liking Lucas but loved how the author handled the situation. The narrator did a really good job of switching between characters.
