This book, though mostly not set during the holidays, still has the special magic that only the holiday season can bring. It is an imaginative coming-of-age story and will definitely warm your heart. Savannah meets Jordan at the start of the semester when he offers to help her carry her mattress to her dorm room. In the days following move in, they keep running into each other and before long a friendship develops, but Jordan wants more. However, Savannah is convinced that true love does not exist. She thinks love is just a primitive response to mating. This is only reinforced by her mother and grandmother’s experiences. Jordan is not without wanting to put off love because his career goals come first. However, as the semester progresses, Jordan and Savannah are drawn to each other. They just seem to click and Jordan becomes determined to prove to Savannah that true love does exist. When they find a collection of letters from the revolutionary war between a solider and the woman he loved, Jorden uses this as the opportunity to prove the existence of true love. The question is. will this be enough to prove to Savannah that true love exists? The characters in this story were fabulous. They are genuine and the dialog was what I would expect from young adults. I liked how the author used Savannah’s challenges with empathy. Because Savannah is challenged, the author was able to highlight how strong and intelligent she is, with a fierceness about her that many her age don’t have. I also loved that the tension slowly built in the story and there could not have been a better setting for this book. The historical element of the letters added a nice layer to the story and helped moved the plot along. I wanted to find out what happened to everyone and it had me rushing to finish. This book was charming, and had a strong feel-good vibe. I highly recommend it to lovers of YA and romance. It is not only a great holiday read, but would make a great beach read because a lot of the book takes place outside of the holidays. I received a free copy from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.

"College freshman Savannah Mason doesn't believe in magic or true love. She believes in science, and science tells her that love is nothing more than a biological impulse to breed--an impulse that can, thankfully, be ignored. Which is a good thing because no woman in her family has ever been lucky in love. In fact, all of them have ended up broken hearted and insistent on blaming a mysterious, vengeful curse. But Savannah is determined to rewrite her story, and as far as she's concerned, she's never going to fall in love. Jordan Merrick is a junior at William & Mary and on the fast track to obtaining his life's goal: becoming the next Ron Chernow. He vaguely imagines that, someday, he'll have a wife and kids. But like Hamilton himself, Jordan's drive is to accomplish his goals as quickly as possible. Love can come another day once his career is cemented. What neither Savannah nor Jordan planned on is meeting each other, and as they keep crossing paths on campus and Savannah finds herself helping at Jordan's archaeology site, all their reasons for putting their love lives on the back burner start to blur. Forged together, Savannah and Jordan investigate Savannah's family's curse on love and explore a collection of love letters between a revolutionary soldier and the girl he left behind. But when they come face-to-face with the truth about themselves--and with the truth about what they've become to each other--Jordan's outlook on love starts to waver, and he begins to wonder if he can convince Savannah that love is real. But will Savannah run before her heart is able to let go of cynicism and believe in the power and magic of love?'--Amazon. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This book was fantastic and I couldn't put it down.
I loved seeing the sidestory about the Revolutionary War couple. I really hope there will be a spinoff novel just about them, how they met and all the small details this book did not get into.
This was by far my favorite book of the series and I cannot wait to see what Chelsea publishes next.
Content: some language, references to mistakes made in past relationships, one intense kissing scene
