A review by denizyildiz
Crazy Over You by Daisy Prescott
4.0
So after reading two books in this series I can say with no doubt that I will be reading the entire series.
I love the setting.
There are mountains, there is lots of snow, there is a winter romance and hot guys.. do I need to say more?
Add to all ove the above: Prescott's wonderful writing, her wit and the slow(ish) real romance- and you got me all smitten. Utterly and totally smitten.
The romance is cute and swoony and has a nice sizzle to it. The storyline is interesting. There are no unnecessary dramas, just enough angst and insecurities to add a little drama. Otherwise this is straightforward and feels utterly real.
The character building,as always with Prescott, shines above it all for me. Definitely character driven for me.
I totally adore Jesse. Sweet, honest,honorable. And yet so straight-forward it refreshing. At first however I wasn't a huge fan of his POV. I swear it got better though, honestly I'm not sure if it just grew on me or if there was really an improvement. It's interesting to see behind the hot dude mask and discover more about him. Though I feel there are loads of things I still don't know about him.
Despite all that I'm totally fangirling.
There are some interesting moments written from Jesse's POV and he isn't fairing as well because there is Mara POV. Mara on the other hand is brilliantly written. I love her POV, it's super witty, it's quirky and unique. I feel like I know her, and I would totally be friends with her in RL.
The support cast is interesting. There is a nice group of girls coming together.. I am wondering if we going to get stories for the clique? Also which male specimen will we admire next?
Then there is Landon. And I don't know where to cast him. Because let's face it he is an ass, but that's all we get. He seems just the resident asshat, not reason nor rhyme. I mean he is apparently gorgeous and... an ass. Even though he featured in both books little else is known. Wondering if he will just stay the "villain"or if we get some insight in future books.
A must read for fans of the author. Though it is a series it works as a standalone, so if you never read a Prescott book, it would be a good one to start with.
