Wow, there is so much that I love about Unmaking Hunter Kennedy. I just can't get over this book. It made me so happy and smilie and honestly all the nice feelings I want from a contemporary. It was like She's the Man plus some crazy matchmaking scene plus a pinch of chemistry perfection. 
 The characters jumped off the page for me. They seemed so real. Hunter seemed real. Dustin (his fake dork identity) seemed real. Vere seemed beyond real. (I finished reading this book two days ago and when I first sat down to write the review it seemed too gushing to me, so I decided I should put a few days of rest between my emotional high after reading this book in the hopes that I would be more clear headed, but I fear I might still fangirl a bit.) 
 Vere is just this quiet, blushing ball of tiny cuteness. Sure she is super pretty, but she is no where near one of those beyond perfect characters and that is what I loved about her. About all of the characters actually. They each have their share of flaws. Vere is so shy that she turns all shades of red and she can't even talk in front of guys, including her crush on Curtis. Which, I totally didn't get by the way, but maybe that is because he completely paled in comparison to Hunter/Dustin. 
 On amazon, Anne Eliot says that she "I love to write couples as they are falling in love and learning to trust. It's a vulnerable time when all emotions are exposed. Love stories and first kisses give me butterflies and, of course, I try to write those butterflies into the pages." 
 She completely hit the nail on the head! This book gave me butterflies and I loved, loved loved watching Vere and Hunter try to trust each other and grow as people. It was a real joy. 
 The plot of Unmaking Hunter Kennedy is fun too! There are makeovers, and phobias, secrets and watching Vere and Hunter bond was adorable. This book seemed completely real to me. Nothing felt rushed, or forced or fake. Everything was built on, little by little. 
 I think this is my first 5 star book of 2013 and honestly I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. The only thing I didn't like about this book is that now I am done reading it and I want more Hunter and Vere. I was honestly sad when it was done because it isn't a series and I wasn't going to read about them anymore. I actually miss them. If you are a fan of contemporary romances, you NEED to read this book.
