What is the best way to brush up your English lessons and start over to read in English? Reading a new adult book that is a sparkling gem of course!

EJ is an artist whom studies Art History. Foster is a chemical engineer. They couldn’t be more different and more similar at the same time.
EJ is a 360° an artist: she sees the world through her humanity filter.
Foster, on the contrary, is pure rationality: he has and answer for everything, an scientific explanation for (almost) all.
Every time our two main characters met each other, reason and instinct, science and faith mix themselves in the air. They start a sort of dance that seems magic in the way they Foster and EJ get in touch with each other, in the way they deal one another, in the way while we read we see before them they’re true feelings.
“It’s my favorite,” I say quietly over his shoulder. “The way the fire overpowers the water, but at the same time, allows it to have its own way. It’s like they aren’t fighting. They’re dancing.”

They both are iconic characters. If I think about EJ I see a girl with messy hair, stained paint fingers and big eyes. Foster is… well, have you ever read a manga? Do you know the cool character that wear eyeglasses, always serious? Here he is.
Both them have a huge personal growth into the book and the thing I liked the most is that even if they are the main characters their life isn’t easy. They work very hard to reach their goals and there is always a price to be paid.
The author is very able to deeply characterize emotionally, psychologically and how to behave her characters to the point that the reader feels them real, tangible and so charismatic that you want to be with them forever.
I take in his unique and familiar scent. It’s pleasant, comforting…Foster. Sitting next to him right now is like crawling into bed and smelling the sheets after a long trip away. You know you’re home.

All the book is full of funny repartee and it is unavoidable to smile and laugh out loud, but I have to admit that I had some difficulties in reading because this isn’t the scholastic English I am used to, but eventually I managed to get to the end.
“I’m tired of pretending, Evelyn—pretending that we’re just friends, and tonight, pretending that we’re a couple.” He drags a palm across his face. “But most of all, I’m exhausted from pretending that I don’t love you—not only to you, but to myself.” Foster lowers his voice. “I’ve been falling in love with you from the moment I met you even though I’ve tried so hard not to.”

I think we all love a story whose heroine has a sad past. Ruby's life is anything but normal. Her mom died when she was little and her dad has checked out with the help of alcohol. All Ruby wants is to get through her senior year and go as far away from home as possible. You know what comes next. Insert popular, hot boy. He comes from a well-to-do family. He doesn't know heart ache like she does. Of coarse, she is embarrassed. She keeps her family life separate from her school life. When the two collide, true love rings through... eventually?
I will admit that sometimes I have a hard time with teenage "love". We all know that they are capable of it, but they don't know the enormity of it all. I didn't have a hard time with this love story. It was realistic. It was heart warming and heart breaking. It was raw and open. And the best, it took place over a more realistic time-frame.
I would recommend reading this love story. I can't wait for the continuation of this story... I can only imagine what is to come after graduation!
