What's Not to Love

Narrado por: Elizabeth Cottle

Since high school began, Alison Sanger and Ethan Molloy have competed on almost everything - AP classes, the school paper, community service, it never ends. If Alison could avoid Ethan until graduation, she would. Except, naturally, for two overachieving seniors with their sights on valedictorian and Harvard, they share all the same classes and extracurriculars.

So when their school's principal assigns them the task of co-planning a previous class' 10-year reunion, with the promise of a recommendation for Harvard if they do, Ethan and Alison are willing to endure one more activity together if it means beating the other out of the lead. But with all this extra time spent in each other's company, their rivalry begins to feel closer to friendship. And as tension between them builds, Alison fights the growing realization that the only thing she wants more than winning...is Ethan.

God, this book is a masterpiece.

I love this book on so many dimensions. First of all, the witty repartee, the banter, the sheer pettiness of the main relationship. But I was introduced to a character who was much like me when I was in high school--certain and calculated and driven. But beyond that, this story has an emotional heart that's deeper than the ocean, about the nature of growing up and moving on, and what parts of your life you hold on to as you grow. It is a fun story and it is a profoundly thoughtful story, and the way those two aspects weave together is just . . . pure craft, pure talent on the part of the authors.

A good story.

It’s a good story, and it’s main flaw is that “hate” part was too long. Other than that, I enjoyed it a lot!

Cute book

The book was good, I thought it ended pretty quickly but overall it was enjoyable. The only thing that really bothered me was randomly the voice would change as if it was edited/added afterwards. It drove me nuts when it happened, which was often.
