Customer Reviews

very romantic!

More Than a friend accurately depicts the relationships of teenagers. It explains the ups ad downs of love and how tragic breakups are to the teenage psyche. It's about two best friends, Delia Byrnes and Cain Parson, who throughout their friendship have been mistaken for being in a not-so-platonic relationship. Then in the end they realize that there is something special about their friendship. Cain and Delia go out of their way not to admit their true feelings about each other. They even go as far as a bet to see who would fall in love with someone else first.More Than a Friend is written so well that you actually go through the emotions with the characters. The crying, the laughs, and the excitement throughout the book are fun and heartwarming. By the end of this young adult book, you'll feel as if you've known the characters up close and personally. You'll feel that you've helped them go through the tough times. And with the novel's comedy and romance, you'll finish with the feelings of being dazed, and in love for the very first time again.

My life compared to this...

I can't begin to say the words that I feel about this book. I started reading it and within 1 hour I finished. It is about love among best friends. And I can't help but relate to it. The girl, Delia Byrhn, desperetly wanted to not believe she loved her best friend, so she denied it. But her best girl friend, Ellen, taught her that she loved him more than words. That is how my love worked. This book isn't only amazing but it brings me back to reality and how much I love and will love my best friend, Josh. I recommend this book to everyone.

The Best Storie of a Friends Ship

Delia Byrne is best friends with Cain Parson. Delia has never found true love but on the other had Cain has been out with a lot of girls but never has found true love eaither. They make this bet who can fall in love first and bring there date to the Winter Dance. This was the the first book I had ever read from the Love Stories. This book really got me hooked I just couldn't put it down. If you thought this book was great you should try Kiss and Tell By Kieran Scott #29

Wonderful

I have read many of the Love Stories books, and this is one of my favorites, both for the double perspective, and for how real the charechters sound to me. I read this in one easy sitting and cried, unashamed, at the end( my dog must have thought I was nuts) I recommend this book to all romantics and the young at heart! -Kenna:)

A great book

I have read several books in this series and "More than A Friend" is one of the best ones I've read so far. The story is so believable and lets you see both sides of the story. Unlike most stories that only let you the girl's/guy's point of view. This book is defenitely a great read and I actually cried at the end!
