3.5 rounded up!
Almost a legally blonde of the literary world.
Leigh is a poet who looks (and acts) like she should be at a sorority house instead of the MFA program with the other tattooed, museum tote bag, loafer wearing students. But she's here and she's ready to prove herself. What she doesn't expect is Will, or William as he goes by now, her high school crush and the man who's rejected her one too many times. Struggling with her identity, her parent's separation, being in close proximity to a man she's never stopped thinking about is the last thing she needed.
While I really did enjoy this, I wanted a bit more out of the romance side. If you're really into poetry and higher education, this book is probably for you. I tended to zone out a bit during the poetry breakdowns - but that may be more of a me issue than anything else. While Leigh and Will had amazing tension - I wanted to see how their love story built out. I felt like it was a lot of talking about feelings, talking about why they couldn't be together to hooking up. Seeing the 10 years of tension would have done a lot for me, I think.
Overall - a joy of a book!
