thegraduatedbookwormblogger's review against another edition
3.0
3.5/5 Full review can be found at http://thegraduatedbookworm.blogspot.ca/
Alright! So let me start off by saying that I received this book from the lovely people at Simon and Schuster Canada
When I started reading Virtually in Love, I found it fairly slow to start. For me it took about halfway through to really get into it more and enjoy the story. You can really tell how old they are in this novel, because the language kind of shows through it.
From the beginning, I got the sense that Kaz was having some sort of feels for Chloe, and also that Trevor came off totally not how Chloe described him. I felt like there was more of a one-sided relationship between Chloe and Trevor. Also the fact that they never really talked about being an official couple, made the idea seem as if it was totally possible to drop each other like a hot potato.
There was one quote that stood out for me while reading. It's Chloe's perspective on first love and what it really means (at lest for a 15-year old.)
"Romance wasn't about a single night, moonlight or otherwise. It wasn't even about a special first kiss...it was about being comfortable together. being able to count on each other, being happier than when you were apart."
Overall this was a cute, and lighthearted read. I found the writing style to be very well done, as well as having current language put into it. I think that the adventure that Chloe went on had a lot of ups, downs, and a whack of loops in between. However, I did find it to be fairly slow, only having really getting there about halfway through. I think it would have been better to have more happen after the ending.
