Bloom

Reader reviewed by Melissa

Well, I cant say that its the best book I've read but I strongly recommend you read this amazing and heart touching story that will keep you flipping the pages. Trust me, once you pick it up its impossible to put it down, my hands where glued to the pages. I really recommend this book, because its the type of book you stay up at night wondering how the author knows a lot of your thoughts and put it into this amazing charecter, Lauren, who is just a joy to read about, and has points where the pages become a blur because of the tears forming in your eyes.

Lauren's boyfriend Dave is perfect. He's popular, friendly, good-looking and is in love with her. She doesn't understand why he thinks she's so special, because she feels less than desirable. But then Lauren meets Evan Kirkland, an old friend now back at school. She feels bad betraying her boyfriend, but she can't help falling for Evan. As she gets in deeper with Evan, she must make a choice: her "perfect" boyfriend Dave, or the love of her life Evan.

This book was so cute! It sounds kinda straightforward and unoriginal, but the book was really good. All the characters were interesting and had some kind of backstory to them. The only character that I didn't really like was Dave - even though he seemed like a great boyfriend. He was too perfect and when he talked he sounded robotic. So he was kinda boring. But Evan, I loved him. I thought it was kinda weird that Evan and Lauren lived together when they were kids because their parents were dating (it seemed awkward) but then it just gave their relationship some tension. Though, it was weird reading a book about a hot guy named Evan, because that's my younger brother's name and I couldn't help but think of him whenever I saw the name. That was the only thing I didn't like. Anyway, Elizabeth Scott is a fantastic writer and I can't wait to read her other books!

I loved this book. It was a quick and easy read for those looking for a sweet YA book.

After the arrival of Evan Kirkland, Lauren is conflicted from her perfect boyfriend Dave, or the strong pulled desire for Evan.

Lauren was annoying to read in the beginning of the novel especially when she sneaked of to see Even behind Dave's back. But I loved her character soon after and was a real enjoyment to read Lauren's and Evan's relationship 'bloom'.

This is one of my all time favorite young adult love stories. It tells a story about a not-so-popular junior, Lauren, who's father is never around along with a mother who abandoned her at an early age. Lauren finds security from her ever popular boyfriend, Dave. Dave is sweet to her and always talking about their future together, someone anyone would feel safe with. She was most happy with him until the day that a loner boy who was the son of her dad's past girlfriend shows up. His mystery draws Lauren away from Luke and into the hands of Evan. This book is a quick read, one hard to put down once you've started. I truly enjoyed it.

Bloom is about a girl that has the perfect boyfriend but she really doesn't want him. She really wants Evan and he wants her too! It gets even MORE complicated than that, too. the whole time I was rooting for Evan and Lauren to get together, but I was also rooting for Dave because he was just so nice!
This book was pretty good.I would recommend it to fans of Ya Romance.

How do you choose between a perfect life and being happy. Lauren has a tough choice. She seems to have a great life. Friends, grades, a boyfriend that seems to only get better with passing days. But an arrival from her past, makes her perfect world seems to not be enough, or atleast not what she wants in life. Now she has to find out what she wants, to be the girl every girl wants to be, or go after what might be all she needs.
