I loved, loved, loved this book. This is one of the best summer romances i have ever read. It is fun, totally unpredictable, funny, sweet, romantic, smart, everyday story. And Jacob is probably every girl's dream. hot, sarcastic and sweet etc.
I really have a things for books and movies with roadtrips, so that only made the story better. And i totally loved the fact that they went to a casino and won money and got a big room. This is a lovely book, that is highly recommended.
