Summary: Allie O'Connor went to Japan to find herself. And, possibly, write a book along the way. 

     Now, two years later, her best friend is moving away. Allie still feels like a foreigner. Discouraged, she prays for a friend. Just someone who would understand what she's going through. She certainly didn't expect Erik Larsen! 

      Erik and Allie went to high school together. They were opposites then, Erik being popular and Allie being a more behind-the-scenes good girl. Of course, Allie is sure they are still opposites. After several chance meetings between them, however, a friendship forms, possibly something more. Can Allie open her heart to something unexpected?

Reaction: This was a good book. It had a combination of themes, but it was still fairly easy to read. I also liked the fact that she talked lots about the culture in Japan, including a reference in the back for some words. However, it was a little generic in the story line, not anything huge to make it stand out from other books like it. I still enjoyed it though. 

Rating: 8/10
