Summary:

Three teenage girls learn how to navigate their hearts and NYC. Book one of the trilogy, City Love, is the start of a romantic new series for fans of Sarah Dessen, Stephanie Perkins, and the Carrie Diaries, from bestselling author Susane Colasanti.

Roommates Sadie, Darcy, and Rosanna have big plans for their summer before college. Sadie is looking for love, Darcy is living for the next adventure, and Rosanna is reinventing herself. There will be plenty of distractions—irresistible guys, wrong guys, awkward encounters, 2 a.m. breakfasts, fangirl moments, Nasty Girl, and more—but if they look up they will discover the true meaning of city love.

My Honest Opinion:

Going into this book, I wanted to love it. The cover is gorgeous even when you take the dust jacket off its beautiful. But I didn't love it as much as I wanted. I was really disappointed. It is not a  bad book. But it wasn't the book I thought it was going to be. 

It was kind of a difficult book to follow, all 3 girls who are completely different coming together in one city seemed really good. But it was just really hard to keep with each girls life. I had to keep going back to try to remember what that girl was like in the chapter before. It was really confusing. 

I didn't really care for when all 3 girls went out for the first time they each found a guy. AT THE SAME TIME. Who does that? When does that actually happen? I found it very predictable.  It was hard to get through at some parts because it felt like I knew what was going to happen. 

The ending I thought was pretty good. The cliffhanger on a couple girls were a really good touch to this story. It made me want to pick up the next book. Sadie was my overall favorite to this story. I did like different things with all the girls. But overall I like Sadie's story the best. 

This is more of a New Adult book since they are no longer in highschool but they are still teenagers. So it could be Young Adult as well. Contemporary Romance story. I give this 3.5 stars.
