I love that Sarah is not a picture perfect Barbie doll type.

She is described as smart, but sometimes I wondered. The main heroine has flawed self-esteem and can’t seen to see what is right in front of her face, which I found funny up until the very last chapters, then it got to be a bit much. So when Ben, aka Adonis, starts to show interest Sarah is confused. Best friend Chel forwarded her phone pics of the perfect TA last year and Sarah is convinced he could surely be her story book hero. Good thing there’s her art history class…the reason she came to school in the first place. Roommate one is missing a face because it is constantly stuck to her boyfriend and roommate two does not talk. Sarah is a college freshman dropped off by her completely self-absorbed neglectful parents to an apartment for her first experience living away from home. I found myself laughing out loud and smiling through most of the story. My Ridiculous Romantic Obsessions is a fun light hearted, completely clean YA read. I enjoyed, this, her second book even more. Darcy.īecca Wilhite’s Bright Blue Miracleis one of the first books I read this year. She’s playing hard to get, and if she s not careful, she s going to lose a real hot gentleman - her 21st-century Mr.

He’s crazy for her, but Sarah is just not getting it. (So does Ben!) Yes, Sarah is everything Ben has wanted. or does it? Sarah is smart and fun to be around and even pretty, despite her Medusa-like red curls. Ridiculous, right? That kind of romance doesn’t exist anymore.

But in her heart of hearts, what she really wants is a Jane Austen kind of romance. She’s determined not to get burned again. For one thing, last year she was deeply crushed and humiliated by Jesse James a guy who she thought liked her. So, when Ben (to whom she secretly refers as Adonis because she thinks he could be a Greek god) begins to take interest in her, Sarah is in denial. Sarah feels like she’s an average, normal, everyday girl. Sarah Howard’s first year at the university is everything and nothing she expected especially when a very cute boy named Ben in her Art History class starts to show interest in her.
