Review # 1 was written on 2015-05-01 00:00:00 Salvatore Abbate I requested this from Open Road on NetGalley, because it sounded like one of the unrealistic, cheesetastic 70s/80s teen books I love to read. What I got instead was a book about a guy and girl, both college aged (neither in college though), who enter into an unlikely romance. He's the cynic, she sees the best in people and refuses to believe the world is all that bad. And the ending wasn't the neatly tied-up, happy ever after I was expecting. Willis and Sophie still have issues to work through. It was interesting to get a look at what, by our terms, was a "new adult" book; just from 30-something-ish years ago. And yeah, the author was a WWII vet and a man (aka, OLD MAN) when he wrote this book. But his protagonists were still somewhat convincing as teenagers, so high marks for that! ***SIDENOTE: Ummm...yeah. So apparently this was written/published in 1987 originally. So, the fact that this book is so dated most likely stems from the age of the AUTHOR and not of the BOOK itself. I am actually shocked it's not from the late seventies at most. It's just so implausible by today's standards! I guess since '87 was almost 30 years ago now, that makes sense though...

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-01 00:00:00 Liz Abbott Imagine you dream of the woman you want to be with – yet wonder what she’ll be like, will she like you, will she have the same interests – but you have no chance to meet women; you work in a shipping department of a large company and you run – you run every day – that’s who you are. Now imagine you’re a young woman having grown up working a farm with your brother – but he soon has a girl, they marry, and start having kids, and when the third kid is due soon, they want to make your bedroom, the one you’ve always slept in, the new baby’s room – maybe your brother will make you something over the garage – so you leave for the city, find a job running a newsstand. Two people, alone in a city – is she the girl of his dreams? Is he anyone she wants to be with? And out of all the many who live in the city, how could they even get to know one another? This is a story for everyone – for guys who like sports and women who like love stories and is our story, everybody’s story – of two lonely people who just might meet and….but you’ll have to read this extraordinary story to find out what happens!
