Book Cover Heart on my Sleeve

    The book’s setting is at a college visit. The main characters are Julian and Chloe. They are both high school seniors at the time. Chloe is really happy that she is going to have a boyfriend in college. But, there is one problem; she doesn’t know how to break the news to her best friend Eli who she is short of dating. I think the quality of the book is good. The characters are very likable and interesting. I think the book is a really good book because it talks about going to college and what college life is really about and dealing with relationships while you are in college.  I think high school students and middle school students would enjoy this book, but I think high school students would understand it more just because they are the ones that are getting ready to start college.  This is a book that is written in e-mail format.  It is a little confusing at times because it is written this way.  To me, this book was a really enjoyable book, and I hope you find it as enjoyable as I did.  Thanks so much for taking the time to read my review.
