Ilustration Supposing Books Not Exactly a Love Story

It's 1977. 

Fifteen-year old Vinnie isn't having a good year. He's recovering from the worst case of galloping acne his dermatologist's ever seen. His girl moved to California without even saying good-bye. And the ink on his parents divorce papers is barely dry, when his mom announces that they're moving from Queens to Long Island.

The silver lining in all this is that they move next door to Patsy—everyone's dream girl. Not that she'd ever notice him. But when Vinnie calls Patsy one night, it leads to a chain of anonymous midnight conversations. Under the cover of darkness, Vinnie becomes Vincenzo, Patsy's mystery caller, and the two share a side of themselves they would never reveal in daylight and develop a surprisingly real connection (despite the lies it's built on). As Vinnie gets to know Patsy in real life though, it becomes clear both identities can't survive and he'll have to find a way to hangup the phone and step into the daylight. Fraught with complications and crackling with witty dialogue, and all the angst and electricity that comes with always being just a phone wire away from the one you want, acclaimed author Audrey Couloumbis's YA debut is a smooth-talking Cyrano meets Saturday Night Fever and tells a quirky, flirty, and smart story that will appeal to fans of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Frank Portman's King Dork, Natalie Standiford's How to Say Goodbye in Robot, and John Green's An Abundance of Katherines. It's not exactly a love story . . . but it's pretty close.

Criticize Regarding Books Not Exactly a Love Story

When 15-year-old Vinnies parents divorce he tries to be supportive of each of them. But hes having a bad year: he has a raging case of acne, the girl hes secretly loved for two years moved to California without so much as a goodbye, his dog died, he got mugged and hes failing gym. Could things get worse? Of course they could. His mother has a conference with the gym teacher, Mr B and then another meeting and then dinner. Now, suddenly theyve married and theyre moving to Long Island for Mr Bs

Cute story. Even though it was written by a woman, Audrey did a great job of capturing the young male perspective.

Late night anonymous phone calls, nerdy guy has a bad case of acne, girl next door rejects him, story set in late 1970s.. Sounds like a recipe for a good romantic read... But this is Not Exactly A Love Story  and it's really a great one. Vinnie fell for her new neighbor, Patsy when he and his family moved, and she had always intrigued him ever since. When his parents divorced and his PE teacher became his mom's new husband, Vinnie thought he would never regain his composure and would never gain

Yes, this is completely different from everything else I've ever read. Yes, this is for teens. Yes, this was completely cheesy. But despite that, I absolutely loved this book. I was in the mood for a light, fluffy, cheesy book and that was exactly what I got.☎Short summary: a young teen boy, Vinny, anonymously calls Patsy, his dream girl living next door. This leads to him to calling daily and they have late night conversations and they develop a real connection, all the while Patsy still has no

it was an enjoyable read i really liked it but o had some issues with it .. i gave it 3 out of 5

Just another cute cover book with a boring plot and flat, annoying characters.

This is difficult for me to rate. I'm going with 2.5 stars for now. This book wasn't bad but it was very hard for me to get through. It was slow with characters that were just okay. In fact, I think the biggest problem with this book was that everything was just ok. I had no real strong pull towards the characters, the story, the romance, the family, or the outcome. It took me almost a month to read. But it wasn't bad. And that's really all I've got right now. I will say that it posed an
