I'm just not interested into what the author has to offer with this set of characters, characters who are supposed to be remembered by enthusiastic readers as a pair who are able to battle anything, as long as they're together. If I gave a book like this two stars, you should be frightened. I just can't remember the last con-rom that I've read with a super low rating like this one.

The story just lags around, gets worse and worse, but I stood there on a field, waiting for it to be better because contemporary romance is my ultimate favourite genre. A story of the roles we all play-at school, at home, with our friends, and without our friends-and the one person who might show us what lies underneath it all. A story of those moments when we act like people we aren't in order to figure out who we are.

This is a story of two people who do not belong in each other's lives, who find each other at a time when they desperately need someone who doesn't belong in their lives. They should pick themselves up, continue on their way, and never talk to each other again. It is Labor Day weekend in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and boy and girl collide on a dark street at two thirty in the morning: Lesh, who wears black, listens to metal, and plays MMOs Svetlana, who embroiders her skirts, listens to Björk and Berlioz, and dungeon masters her own RPG.
