My Review
Bella have long time crush to Jack, the brother of her best friend but she would not risk her friendship to date Jack. She doesn’t think Jack feels the same way about her. He on the other, trying hard not to let himself to notice her. When they begin to spend time together this summer, Bella thought she is making progressed but Jack’s girlfriend turned up to cause havoc to their relationship.
This book tells the story of friendship, love and family ties. I like how the author build the main characters which are so lovable and I totally in love with the ending of the story where both Jack and Bella finally acknowledged their feelings for each other at the end. Overall, it is a heart-warming and cosy read to me.
