My Review:Spring break . . . heartache?For coder extraordinaire Ashley, high school is all about prepping for college. Her love life? Virtually nonexistent. She's never been on a date. Never been kissed. Never been in love.When her plans veer off course, Ashley realizes she might be missing out on her high school experience. Now that spring break is finally here, Ashley vows to have fun . . . and, for the first time, follow her heart.Starting with Walker Beech, her gorgeous, maybe-not-so-unrequited crush. But with Jason Eisler--her childhood friend turned prankster--in the picture, trouble is bound to follow. Will Ashley's epic spring break lead her to love, or will her heart crash and burn?
I have to say I was a bit disappointed in this one. I do try hard to put myself in the characters' shoes when I read YA but sometimes the decisions just don't add up ... Ashley wanted to be more fun but she also went from 0-60 in a matter of days. It just felt a bit inauthentic. I did like her relationship with Jason and her relationship with her friends. I would be interested in reading others from this author because I also liked this premise a lot. You may have better luck!
It's one thing to say I want to have more fun, but it's quite another to make it a reality. Thus far, I've devoted most of my high school career to the pursuit of a perfect transcript. That's serious business. I can't just go from zero to sixty overnight.
