Summary:

An irresistible story from Kasie West that explores the timeless question: What do you do when you fall for the person you least expect?

When Autumn Collins finds herself accidentally locked in the library for an entire weekend, she doesn’t think things could get any worse. But that’s before she realizes that Dax Miller is locked in with her.

Autumn doesn’t know much about Dax except that he’s trouble. Between the rumors about the fight he was in (and that brief stint in juvie that followed it) and his reputation as a loner, he’s not exactly the ideal person to be stuck with. Still, she just keeps reminding herself that it is only a matter of time before Jeff, her almost-boyfriend, realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her.

Only he doesn’t come. No one does.

Instead it becomes clear that Autumn is going to have to spend the next couple of days living off vending-machine food and making conversation with a boy who clearly wants nothing to do with her. Except there is more to Dax than meets the eye.

As he and Autumn at first grudgingly, and then not so grudgingly, open up to each other, Autumn is struck by their surprising connection. But can their feelings for each other survive once the weekend is over and Autumn’s old life, and old love interest, threaten to pull her from Dax’s side?

My Thoughts:

This is the second book that I have read by Kasie the first one was The Fill in Boyfriend. Although I didn’t love this one as much as I did the first one, I still did enjoy it.

This book follows Autumn, she was supposed to go on a trip with her friends (exciting) but instead she gets her self locked in a local library (even, better right?) not for Autumn it turns into a horrible weekend for her. Not only because she was locked in a library for the weekend but because she was locked in there with another guy from her school named Dax.

These two are an unlikely pair to get together, the do get to know one another while there because what else is there to do, other then read and have limited amount of food? When they get out its like they don’t even know one another at all. Dax goes back to his life and Autumn to hers.

One of the things that I was disappointed with was the way the book ended, I left like it was rushed I like the way the relationship between them developed but then it was over. I wish that there was more to it. Due to that, that’s why I’m giving this book a 3 star.
