I took a lot of ' Trial and Errors's ' To finally end up with a good Romance Book. I realised lately there seems to be a shortage of 'Good Romances' , by my definition anyways... most novels that seem to be promising end up tainted by cliche's and over used themes and characters because of their ' Popularity'. 
 You against Me by Jenny Downham suceeded all my expectations in the least. I enjoyed the two central characters as they were both realistic, down-to-earth and just overall people I enjoy reading about. I love how honest they seem and how brave and independent they were, which is what i find lacking from many Y.A fiction these days . They are two children( yes, I use this term very loosely) who are trying to be good enough for the world and I respect these fictional characters for that. There were more than a few times while reading, where I would fine myself genuinely feeling sorry/glad/excited/intrigues ( the list is endless)for them. I thought the author was very clever in her use of the two person perspectives, which actually enhanced the story - giving the reader two accounts of one case, which is definetely beneficial in portraying the effects and impacts of the case as well as displaying the theme of moral ambiguity . The reason I thought this was different to the ways other authors used this layout was because, a lot of the time ,I always got a sense that they used it for no purpose but because it was a ' thing' , rarely would I find that it was actually 'neccessary'. 
 I enjoyed the Romeo and Juliet like senario. Two Households pitted against each other, and aforbidden love...you know, all that sha-bang . There was plenty of good moments and quite alot of drama that kept me reading. If I were to pick out the flaws, I would say I found the begginning a intsy bit boring and there were times , in the middle somewhere, that didn't flow as much or just seemed to stretch out too long. Overall , I found that the story was 'raw' , if that makes sense, none of that shiny glitter coating over the top. I ADORE the characters, LOVE the plot and LIKE the writing style. The Ideas were different and uniqueness always wins points for me . 
 (To be Honest ,I'm writing this review when before I have actually finished the book, with 13 pages left, my opinions of the book will probably not change...) 
 4.5 stars
