The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine

 
Here's the synopsis for The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine:

       Wren Caswell is the average "good" girl who's not exactly popular but also not a social outcast junior from Sacred Heart. She wants to change, Wren doesn't want to be the quiet girl anymore but her passiveness over the years has backfired and its hard to change from how people have seen her for years to someone who speaks and isn't exactly the good girl.

      Grayson Barrett ruled St. Gabe's. He was the Lacrosse star and on track to a brilliant future until he is expelled for selling term papers. Gray's life is going down hill fast and he needs to change but he's not quite sure how.

     One night they run into each other at Wren's Arthurian themed catering hall and quickly find their lives connected. The rest of their story is awkward, hilarious, and full of tender love.


     Now I originally found this book before it came out and I saw the cover and I instantly knew I had to read it. It was that book that I fell in love with the cover and not the actual book. I have a lot of mixed feelings for the book. The love story is sweet, the characters are... interesting and the plot is intriguing but if I had known all that was in the book I probably wouldn't have read it. At first I identified with Wren because I'm the quiet kid who sits in the back so that I doesn't have to get called on. As I got to know her better I started to realize that I'm not quite as worldly as she was. Grayson on the other hand, I couldn't identify with him at all. Number one because he's a guy and second because I haven't and hopefully will never find myself in his sort of situations. He's funny and charming though and get's into some hard places that made me frustrated for him. Robin Constantine did a wonderful job on keeping the tension and the pace of the story. I finished the book in two days of pretty much none stop reading because the characters are always in predicaments that are hard. One minute I found myself loving Grayson and the next all I could think was that he was a jerk. Overall the book was a fairly good read with a very unique love story that I don't think any girl wants to find herself in. I would recommend this book for anyone from 16 and older because there is a lot of swearing and a few adult situations. After I finished the book, I knew that I probably should have stopped at the beginning but Robin Constantine was so good at keeping the high stakes that I couldn't help but just keep reading just to see how the characters were going to get out of their predicaments. I hope you consider what I said about this book and really think about if its worth reading, because it wasn't exactly worth all of my time to me. If you do decide to give it a go then good luck and good reading!
