Charlie and Molly begin crawling under beds and poking around in closets to find out a little more about each other—and they like what they find.Can Charlie and Molly’s long-distance romance survive jealousy, misunderstandings—and the thousand miles between them? [Review as of Amazon]

I really enjoyed this book. The main reason I wanted an ARC was because I just couldnt not wait until October to read this book. And I'm glad that I didnt wait =) The book turned out amazing. Even though it was Fraibergs's first novel, it didnt overlly come across that way.

Although the book was amazing, there were times when I thought that things happened to fast...if that makes sense. Like...one minute its happy and then the next paragraph its not. I felt this escepesically at the end. But...I cant say much more on that or else I would give the ending away...

I also felt that the book was quiet predictable...but dont let this negativity get you wrong. This book was very good! The characters were very likeable. Although, there was a girl, Molly's best friend Celeste, whom I didnt really like. But thats what I mean, you got a great insight as to who that person was, and I really loved that about the novel. Also, the plot was just amazing in general.

Note!! Come back reaaallly soon, because I will be posting an interview with Jordanna Fraiberg =) Also...I'm still having a hard time getting through rumors for some reason =( But I'm trying...I swear...I'm trying!!

This sounds a little like Flipped and And Sometimes Why, which are very popular in my library. I'll have to take a look!
