Amazing book by the pool

This was the first book i read by Hailey Abbott and i truly loved it. Right after i read it i just wanted to go snuggle with my boyfriend and stay there forever. Its not too long and the wording is not 4th grade but not so complex you have to run to the dictonary every 5 sentences. The romance is cute and realistic, making the story line believable. You learn alot about the two characters through out their journey and you want more when it ends

Getting Lost is Fun

Cordelia is appalled when she hears from her mother that she will be accompanying Jacob Stein on a road trip from Sand Diego to Eureka. Jacob, who happens to be Cordelia's older sister's ex-boyfriend, is anything but nice. He has always ridiculed Cordelia, criticized her every move and openly pointed to her flaws. Can you blame her for not wanting to go with him? From the very beginning, their road trip has brought nothing but trouble, fights, and awkwardness, and Cordelia start wondering if she can remain sane until they reach their destination. But soon, both Jacob and Cordelia learn more about each other; the reason behind their behavior and actions. Will sparks fly between those bickering youths? Read to find out. I loved this book; from the very beginning you felt that trouble was awaiting Cordelia and Jacob. But through their troubles and their little adventures, the protagonists go to know each other, and the readers got to empathizes with them as well. This is a coming-of-age story that teaches you to embrace your fears instead of fending them off; all written in an engaging plot and illustrated through hilarious conversations.Who knew getting lost would turn out to be so much fun ?

LOVE IT!

this is i think one of the best summer romances i read. it is so fun! it's totally unpredictable, funny, sweet, smart. jacob is probably every girl's dream. hot, sarcastic, sweet. It's not those stupid-teen books, there's no stupid mean girls - good girl drama. it's just a journey of a girl who falls in love with the person she never thought she would have feelings for. i highly recommend.

Cordelia Packer is going to see her sister in northern California, leaving from her home in San Diego, but she doesn't have a travel partner. Until Jacob (Cordelia's older sister's ex-boyfriend), who is totally obnoxious but cute, offers to travel along with her. Cordelia has the trip all planned out, with an itinerary -- there are even scheduled rest stops. This is how she does everything. But that's not how Jacob does anything! He likes to take his time and not rush through anything. Cordelia knows that the trip is off to a bad start when Jacob shows up at noon when he was supposed to be there at nine! While they are in the desolate, California desert -- the car breaks down. How will perfectionist Cordelia and wild child Jacob handle the situation? And will Cordelia be able to stay faithful to her perfect boyfriend? I really liked reading this kind of predictable book. There were enough twists and turns to keep you interested! GETTING LOST WITH BOYS is a very fun book to read while basking in the sun! Reviewed by: Taylor Rector
