Due to copy and paste, formatting has been lost.To be honest, I thought that I would like Nothing Like You a lot more than I actually did. It was a sad, sad disappointment. For one, I was kind of expecting some kind of forbidden romance, which did not happen. Not that it's a bad thing, because, well...
I think this was a book that I could REALLY relate to. It was something that I had gone through. Holly and I went through the same thing and it’s not a joke. This book opened up old wounds I have forced myself to forget. Holly had a one night stand with popular guy Paul who had a girlfriend named Sa...
How many bad decision can a person make before I start hating him/her? Holly is still such a wreck 6 months after her mother passed even though she never shows the pain. Her mother died so I should feel bad for her,right? Wrong. She is a bad person. I don't care what kind of a lame excuse she had fo...
“What’s that?” Nora asked, pointing to my sandwich. Another day, another lunch. This time with Nora, Nils’s girlfriend or whatever the hell she was. “It’s a sandwich,” I said, making what-the-F eyes at Nils. “She means, what’s inside , jerk-off."

That was one of the quickest reads ever. Under 2 and a half hours and I enjoyed every minute. The story was well crafted and the characters enjoyable. Strasnick created a tale that was easy to follow and people you could identify with, Holly especially. She spent so much energy trying to keep it...
I read this book in one evening. There was just something about it that I couldn't stop reading it. There's nothing blatently exceptional about this book, it's just how easily relatable the characters and situations are that hooked me. It hasn't been too long (only 4 years) since I've been in high s...
I loved this book i really really did. Im used to reading books that always have happy endings, and when Holly and Nils didnt end up together i had alot of mixed feelings like WTF!!! and Nooo!! But when i finally got my heart to stop pounding and my eyes to stop leaking..;)..I realized it was a stor...

When I started Nothing Like You I really wanted to like it. And I did, at first. As it went on, I kind of lost interest in it. The story was good and the writing was good. The main character wasn’t.Holly Hirsh was annoying. There is no better way to put it. She was whiny and she didn’t accept respon...
