I wanted to like this more than I did, but it suffered in comparison to Nick and Norah. The Ely/Bruce relationship is cute and sweet and the best part of this book, but I couldn't really relate to Naomi. The alternating narrators work well, though I wasn't sure about adding the third-party narrators (like Robin).
The reason why I chose to read this book other than because my name is in the title;but because Rachel Cohn wrote some hilarious exciting books like Cupcake, Shrimp and Gingerbread. Written by Cohn and David Levithan, this book is about two best friends, Naomi and Ely who are practically soulmates and do absolutely everything together. But Naomi secretly loves Ely and wants to have a future with him, even though she knows he's gay. Their friendship is up to a test when Ely kisses Naomi's boyfriend Bruce the second. Both go through hard times trying to aviod each other and still live the same lives even though the presence of each other was never felt again. But friends as close as these two could never stay enemies forever; and this book proves that no matter what happens, the one true friend you have will always be there for you. Reading this book will be a very fun experiend and if you want to know more about the hilarious and sad events not mentioned here, you all should read this book!
