Reviewed by Dianna Geers for TeensReadToo.com Naomi and Ely have grown up across the hall from each other in their Manhattan apartments. They have been together forever and know every detail about each other. Naomi knows that she and Ely will grow up to be married, have children, and live happily ever after. Even if Ely is gay. However, as many of us find out, life rarely turns out the way people plan. Parents don't always stay married, we don't always marry the person we love the most, people don't always keep promises, boys don't always love girls, and soul mates don't really exist. No matter how much you think they do. No matter how desperately you want them to. Life just doesn't happen that way. And really, should it? This story is told in chapters of varying points of view. Your heart races, it aches, and it loves while you are brought into the world of lovable but flawed characters. One of the biggest questions that comes up again and again is: How does one go on with life when everything they once knew and once planned on is no longer possible?   hide

Better than I expected and made me laugh out loud many, many times. I didn't really fall for any of the characters, though, and I thought it would've been much better if I could. It just wasn't going to happen. But it was well-written and funny, so ...

It's a great story. At first I had to read the first chapter over again 'cause I got a bit confused. =[But, other than that, it grabbed my attention all he way 'til the end. =]<3

Not much action but it was still very delectable.
