The One That Got Away by Melissa Pimentel
5.0
Honestly, this book drew me in. I thought it was adorable, and frustrating, and at times emotional. I loved every minute of this book, even though some minutes were more frustrating than others. I loved the premise behind the book, the title speaks for itself, and I thought it was very well written. It was very modern, mentioning Twitter and iPhones and other things like that, which I found relateable and pretty cool.
The book is told in alternating chapters, one chapter being current, and the other chapter being 10 years in the past. I normally don't care for that kind of thing in books, but I thought it was executed very well here. I didn't see any glaring inconsistencies with the book, the plot was solid, if a little slow moving at times, and there were only a few grammatical errors that I hardly even noticed. This is a book that I am definitely planning on reading again.
My favorite thing about the book is that towards the end, literally in the first chapter or two, the main character decides to focus on herself and make herself happy, and I feel like that's something that a lot of people don't put any effort into or any emphasis on.
Overall, I thought it was a very cute story, and I love how the book ends, how it's a happy satisfying ending, but it's also left up to the reader to decide what happens next. If you like romance books, definitely pick this one up. It was fantastic.
