Customer Reviews

I loved how it was from the guys point of view.

I finally found a book that was from a guys point of view. I enjoyed reading this book more than any of the others I've read. I looked forward to seeing more books from a guys point of view.

Finally--a YA romance from in a guy's words!

The best thing about this story is that the main character, Rob, is not a total pig. Sure, he falls head over heels for a girl because of her looks. Sure, he acts like a loser whenever he's within a 50 miles range. BUT(here's the catch) he's looking for Ms. Right and looks are not necessarily the only important thing: HAVING A FEW FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELLS IS ALSO A PLUS. Wow, what a man! Anyway, he and his friends take a sun-drenched vacation on a beach loaded with beautiful girls. 2 of his friends are the skirt-chasing (in this case bikini) types and his other friend is a love-sick, devoted boyfriend pining for his girl back home. Rob is the only sane one. Throughout the story, Rob suffers disaster after disaster on the "Beach Babes" dating show and it looks like things will never happen between him and his dream girl. The MOST CHEESY THING about this story is the inside cover. It is almost an indecent picture of a boy in a bathing suit and a girl wearing the skimpiest of bikinis! Hey, I thought this was a G-rated romance series! The best thing about this story was that it was written from a guy's point of view, Rob's. (And they say that women are hard to understand. Ha!
