Or that she's landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Faced with doubts (what if he's a creep in real life-or worse?), Bailey doesn't tell Alex she's moved to his hometown. This book calls to all 13+ Young Adult fans.Classic movie buff Bailey "Mink" Rydell has spent months crushing on a witty film geek she only knows online by "Alex." Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush. I truly recommend “Alex, Approximately” to those who love a quick and relaxing read, which they will never truly finish as the well-written characters will be lingering in their mind. As the hunt for “Alex” becomes seemingly impossible, she has yet to realise that maybe she is looking too far. However, Bailey has not forgotten about her online film-buff friend “Alex”, the true reason behind her transfer to California. Their relationship starts off on a negative note and gradually rises, as Bailey discovers that Porter has more to himself behind the shield he shows everyday.
Here, she quickly befriends Grace Achebe, a light-hearted worker, and meets the infuriating, yet handsome and witty, Porter Roth, security guard and surfer boy. The second? Bailey is an evader, an avoider, an “artful dodger” therefore she plans on keeping her move to Coronado Cove a secret from her online friend, “Alex” and independently scoping him out in the sea of Californians.Īfter landing in California, Bailey gets a summer job in a local tourist trap, “The Cavern Palace”. The first problem? Bailey has no idea what the boy of her dreams looks like, let alone know his real name. Here, she plans on finding “Alex”, her online friend and the boy she’s been crushing on for the past months. “Alex, Approximately” sets off with the protagonist, film-fanatic Bailey Rydell, known online as “Mink”, and her recent transfer to Coronado Cove, on the Californian Coast. One thing is certain: this book is a perfect summer read! Perhaps it is because this novel portrays itself to be much more than just a quick read, or perhaps it is because of the sweet and gratifying journey which I experienced.
Typically, I enjoy reading fantasy and fast-paced Young Adult novels however, only a minimal number of “romance” novels fully seized my attention as “Alex, Approximately” did instead. Written by the winner of the “RITA” award, Jenn Bennett, “Alex, Approximately”, a Young Adult novel, which follows the theme of “first love”, will keep your attention as a prisoner from the very first page and will have you running along with the heart-melting and entrancing plot. “Sometimes you have to endure painful things to realize that you're a whole lot stronger than you think.”
