I agree that there may be some Elizabeths but I would argue that there are many many Jane Bennett types (if we consider it a type, then she's beautiful, quiet, introverted, the oldest of her family and expected to take care of her family by securing a good marriage. Haven't you read books with that before? I mean... Twilight for me, Bella Swan is the most typical non confrontational introvert). I think there's a lot of difficulty though with a non confrontational MC because it might be hard to show the emotional problems that arise as organic rather than a failure on the part of the MC to be honest with the side characters.<br /><br />NERDY LOVE INTERESTS ARE THE BEST. All my favorite LIs sound like you've described Max. and I've heard from several other bloggers that Emery Lord does a really good job describing the friendship between girls -- which just warms my hear to see.<br /><br />I'm glad that you enjoyed the book! I own Open Road Summer and hope to read it soon enough!Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583184608177224763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122122426051336537.post-59092126339637079402015-04-09T01:03:08.646-05:002015-04-09T01:03:08.646-05:00Isn't the cover is so beautiful??

I still need to read that other one that came out last year (of course I can't remember what it's called now...some country road trip thing?) This one sounds cute. Love that the parents are present. I'm so sick of absentee parents. Rebecca @ Unbound Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609128581185079525noreply@blogger.com
