Solid Tale Of Striking Out On Your Own. Dallen and Benjamin have been writing separate entries in common series for a while now, but this was the first time (at least since I've been reading either of them) that they actually co-wrote a book together. Their styles have been similar enough to work in separate books, and here they blend so well that I'm not sure I could say which author wrote which perspective. Overall the tale is full of the fun-yet-serious approach both authors use so well, and really does do an excellent exploration of two different perspectives on young adults feeling the pull to strike out on their own and see just what they are made of. Very much recommended.
When you follow your dreams... and find love along the way... after lots of drama, hijinx, and a heavy dose of mistaken identity, of course! I had a lot of fun getting to know and spending some time with Izzy and Henry.
I especially enjoyed the strong theme of friendship - not only with Izzy's BFF Fallon, and the growing friendship with her roomies in LA, but also how Henry and Izzy grow closer over the course of the story.
One of my favorite scenes though was the one where the girls band together to commiserate with Izzy and offer their help - from providing voodoo dolls to... ahem... solving the problem of the offending parties' existence permanently (looking at you, Carolina!).
