In particular, Bailey, Bailey’s dad and Bailey and her dad together. Add a small beachy town onto that? Yes please! It’s the place I’ve been the most, other than Arizona, and I’m always able to picture everything perfectly. Anything in California always, always makes me happy. There was not one thing I didn’t like about this book! As that is the case, I’m just going to make a bullet pointed list of what I loved… I wanted to reconnect with that genre of books, so here we are!Īlex, Approximately absolutely blew me away. They were my jam last year when I was taking a course in young adult and children’s literature. It’s been a hot minute since I have read a real honest-to-goodness teen book. But whoever designed these covers is phenomenal – all of Bennett’s book covers are just flawless in my opinion. Have you ever watched a movie in the water like that? I have, eons ago, so I could practically feel myself settling into that comfortable position in the water. Well, I decided to treat myself to Alex, Approximately a few weeks ago, which I mentioned in my latest Recent Additions to My Bookshelf post.Ĭan I just gush about that cover for a second? I am so attracted to it and I don’t know why – I don’t care for the color yellow and never have, but this cover is so lovely I just can’t stop staring at it! The scene pictured is so relaxing.

Or that she’s being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Roth-a.k.a.
Or that she’s landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. “Classic movie buff Bailey “Mink” Rydell has spent months crushing on a witty film geek she only knows online by “Alex.” Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush.įaced with doubts (what if he’s a creep in real life-or worse?), Bailey doesn’t tell Alex she’s moved to his hometown.
