Want to Go Back...

Second Kiss by Natalie Palmer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I remember he day I found this book. A year ago. Shame on me for not reading it before. It was epic, amazing and just so darning SWEET!
It is so under my age by who cares. It was a simple read but the writing is not bad, not bad at all. This author knows what she is doing, the writing isn't sloppy or boring and the pace is just quite right!
And you know, it is my kind of story, the one that always takes my heart with it.
Gemma and Tess have been best friends for so long that they can't think of one another without the other one.
And this their story. The difference between clumsy Gemma and popular Jess through middle school and the changes they both have to go through due to growing up. Not kids anymore. Not more fort fights, or silly childish games. But, even though those are going out of the picture quickly, some stuff's coming to replace all of that. And it's a good trade if you think about the whole picture.
After all, it killed me that through almost the whole book they wouldn't accept their new feelings for each other.
But those little life shattering events will be the things that will bring them together, more than they already were.

It absolutely made me wish I had 15 again. :D
I could totally relate to Gemma in every way, although I never had a friend from that early in life, not one that was that awesome. Because, let's face it, Jess alikes do not exist outside this book.
And when the ending came rolling by, just to spoil it a little, just a bit, it was raining over where I live too. Thunder and all, so I got the whole effect of it.
And after I finish it I had the biggest of smiles until I went to bed. It was that cute of a story. The letter is my favourite part. And the last paragraph is just cute in every way.
Read it, come on. Easy read, cute story, good characters. What else can you ask for a cloudy afternoon? It made my day. One of the cutest stories ever.
