Annotation: When hurricane Lena Duchannes comes to small-town, Southern Gatlin, Ethan Wate is fascinated by the girl of his dreams, literally. Unfortunately her 16th birthday looms above their relationship, bringing with it bad, bad mommies, Civil War reenactments, choices for ultimate good or evil, and extremely cliquey high-schoolers.
Did the cover tempt you: I spent about half an hour tracing the pretty letters on the cover. Purple is my favorite color, and purple sparkly is even better! The trees in the background make it mysterious and quite intriguing.
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: The fantasy n the book is refreshing, very creative and funny. The characters are very real, and their problems are a nice mix of very large (imminent evil possessing you) and very small (nobody likes me). The small town life is hilarious and onencan relate to the situations.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: I liked hearing about all the little details of the two main characters' lives. The small things about the small town are very amusing too.
