Follow them through their first ten dates as they bridge their initial shyness and fall in love--through snowstorms, groundings, meeting parents (Avery's) and not (Ryan's), cast parties, heartbreak, and every day and date in between.

3.5 actually.
I guess in a way it wasn't what I expected. It took me a while to get used to the writer's style - or maybe just the style of this story - which was a bit embellished in a way that felt contrived at times, and at others reminded me of Twitter users' stylistic display of alternating sentence structure. It was distracting at times. At other times I disliked it. In any case, it's a story whose non-linear development helps a lot to digest it, and offers a unique and intimate perspective on the romance between two boys that makes it a recommended read if you're in the mood for something tender and relatable - even if slightly “crammed with words” at times.
