What a sweet couple Ness and Nathan make! They hit it off from the very first minute - but both swear off relationships vehemently. Still, they can't seem to be without the other, so a wonderful friendship develops instead, which is - above all - full of laughter. And also with lots of talk about carousels (which I liked) and about movies (which I loved!). But will there ever be more, especially with Ness' little secret that she is actually writing an article about her mysterious "Train Man"? You can guess from the very beginning what is inevitably going to happen. Especially if you have seen "Never been kissed", to also name-drop a romantic movie. But the road to there was a joy to read, I really liked the characters and how they interacted with each other. The supporting cast is really only supporting (even so - the mum is quite wearisome!), the focus is clearly and solely on Ness and Nathan. ----SPOILER---- I would have expected the quest to find "Train Man" to be a bit longer + harder, with several clues finally leading to him. Also, the final conflict was a bit too fast and too easily solved, with Nathan forgiving her everything almost immediately. I would have expected a bit more struggle. But I'm also a reader that doesn't need to much unnecassary drama, so it was actually also a welcome change to the usual books of that genre. ----SPOILER END---- This has been my second book by Jaimie Admans, and I enjoyed both very much. Will keep looking for other books by her!
