About 3-3.5 stars out of 5. 
 This book was mostly meh until the ending part. 
 Though it is cute, but most of it was meh. In a spur of a moment, I just felt like reading a cute romance/contemporary novel like Eleanor and Park or Anna and The French Kiss. So I went into this book thinking that it will be to that level. Hmm, maybe I should've lowered my expectations. It's just that I heard from people that it was really good and so on but it was meh. Not that disappointing, but just that I was expecting more. 
 Would I recommend it? Hmm I guess I would recommend it to people who just want a cute short story. Just don't expect much, thats all. 
 SPOILERS BELOW 
 I felt it was a bit of a waste of time, the start part because it was meh-ishh. Like I was expecting the reason Jemma hated Ryder to be more concrete. If I were her, of course I would be ashamed and all but I think I wouldn't be so immature to hold it against him all this time. But then again, that is her character. 
 I would have liked more subtle, little moments between Ryder and Jemma before the storm, at least to show that he's interested. 
 I didn't care about Patrick at all. So when he died, it wasn't shocking or whatever, it was out of the blue. He's kinda annoying but not to the point that I can't stand it. 
 I absolutely loved the scenes during the storm. It was really cute. Jemma is badass with her guns, killing poisonous snakes and saving Ryder's life. And when he left for a long while and she got so worried was adorable. And the scene where he thinks she is still the prettiest girl in magnolia, just ahhh. 
 But my absolute favourite scene was when she didn't want to go to prom because she didn't want to deal with people after Patirck's death and when Ryder went to see her, to convince her to go WAS SO CUTE. When he didnt want their parents to make a big fuss so he had to climb through her window. AND THIS SENTENCE "Look, Jemma, I messed up eighth grade. Let me make it right." WAS TOO CUTE. And aww that they're going to New York together. 
 Well so overall, it is a good book but the first half was meh. if only there were more interesting moments and such.
