How to Kiss a Guy in Ten Days: A Sweet YA Romance (Edenvale Arts Academy Book 1)

If you have a teen who likes romance, then this is a sweet and worry-free read.The Insta-romance was a bit troublesome for me, but the title kind of gives away the timeline so that shouldn't be surprising and probably the author's way of hinting to the reader that the romance moves quickly.The main characters are very sweet and I like the performing arts school setting. There were moments when I'd forget whose point of view I was reading because Hannah and Seth's voices sounded similar at times.There are so few truly clean YA romances in the market these days. So bravo to the author for meeting that need in the market. Based on the sweet and clean themes in this book, I would highly recommend this author for teenagers.

Sweet young love.Delightful and coming of age love fun.I did have a problem with Hannah's older brother; he was way over the top "protective" to the point of creepy.Seth's voice sounded more like that of a female. For instance, he noticed a guy's build and said things that would suit a teen girl.Otherwise, the story was good. Hannah and Seth have some nice chemistry throughout.

I enjoyed the book and really enjoyed the plot. I haven’t read books by this author before but I enjoy sweet romance so I will check out her Spark series for sure. The general plot has of course been done before: be my fake boyfriend to get back at my ex (well not quite ex in this case but a cheating boyfriend). The journey was really good though and showing the characters falling for each other. I thought the idea that each other missed cues was absolutely authentic, especially for teen characters. Here was my struggle though, I felt the voices of the leads weren’t different enough. I felt the male lead sounded too feminine, too much like the female lead. It bothered me enough that I felt it needed 4 stars instead of 5. That all said, I have preordered book 2 and really look forward to others in the series.

Here are the things made me want to read this story:-It was a young adult/ coming of age romance-The title of the book reminded me of the movie title "How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days" (PG-13 movie and one of my favorite movies)-The description for the book said "fans of High School Musical and Zombies" and I love Disney Channel movies, (still at 27 years old)-It's a fake relationship trope (one of my all-time favorites) -The story has a shy hero, (Seth) and I love shy heros. This was the first story I read by Liwen Y. Ho but it won't be my lastThe story gives you all the feels of falling in love for the first time and it also gives you all the feelings, the angst and drama of being a teenager, which is why at times I got frustrated with Seth and Hannah and rolled my eyes at them but  it didn't stop me from enjoying Seth and Hannah's story over all This story ended with me smiling and being happy that I read and the story kinda reminded me of Geek Charming ( a Disney Channel 2011 movie, I enjoyed it). I so can't wait to read Liam and Ava's story

I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book! Loved it. Even though they started out “playing a part,” I loved their growing and very real emotions! We readers knew what was going down, but the innocent confusion of Seth and Hannah was adorable! Very well written. 5 stars, for sure!

Cute YA romance. It was slower paced than I liked but I'm not the target audience. The writing in general was clean but i would have liked to see more "dating time" together. They only kissed in the last two chapters. But it's a kissing book so I wanted more. And there was way too much telling. Not enough to dock the story too much though.

What a wonderful book! I love the viewpoints of both the main characters and how they thought they were so different when they really weren't. Love how each character, even the secondary ones, adapt and grow as the story unfolds. A very sweet story of the awkward teen years.

Seth is the very new guy at school, so why is that cute redhead waving him over? Hannah is desperate. After her long time boyfriend dumped her, she needs a new guy right away. A guy to make Bradley so jealous, he will come back to her. But what happens when her feelings for the pretend boyfriend become all too real? Difficult family situations keep this story real, and much more than just a teen romance.

I absolutely adored Hannah and Seth (and Ava, and Liam, and Seth's mom and dad, and Hannah's Grammy...), the story had just the right amount of drama, and there were lots of funny and swoony moments that made me laugh or happy-sigh, respectively.One of my favorite quotes:"According to Nolan, Hannah was fine, with a capital F. I couldn’t agree more. She was fantastic, fun, and fascinating. And forgeous. Okay, that wasn’t a real word, but it perfectly described how for-reals gorgeous she was in every way."This is the first book I've read by this author, but I have already preordered the next book in the series. And I also want to read the story of Seth's parents. And those of his uncles, while I'm at it. More, please! :)
