Great Premise
This book took me by surprise. I know it's a Jennifer Echols book right? I should not be surprised. But, this book was so different. This book immediately captured my attention. The opening of the book starts off with a story that Erin has written for her creative writing class and I was so into it that I didn't want it to end. All I could think about is how Jennifer should write a historical romance novel. I would definitely buy it. She could write any type of story and I would buy it.
What I enjoyed the most about LOVE STORY was the premise. Here you have a creative writing class with characters writing about each other and through their stories, you learn more and more about them. The fact that some of the stories were quite hot was a plus too. One thing that I can say is that Jennifer writes the best relationships with great male leads. I don't know how you cannot fall in love with her characters.
I look forward to reading anything this author writes and that says a lot. If you're huge Echols fan like me then you won't be disappointed with LOVE STORY.3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

I love Jennifer Echols and but hate her endings!
I love Jennifer Echols' books. This one caught me off guard from the get go but in a good way. The book starts off from the main character's creative writing story. As a writer I could totally relate to the character in this story. I love the way the plot unfolds and as always, Echols' characters are realistic and multidimensional yet easy to read.
I was captivated by this story and would have given it 10 stars but I hate how the story ended. I felt some sort of closure but not really. I love all her stories but feel they don't give us much for endings...there were so many unanswered questions at the end of this story, even more so than her others in my opinion. It just left me so frustrated and annoyed but won't keep me from reading her next book.2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Very good
I wasnt sure about this book at first. But once i read the first line i was pretty hooked. I loved how the book open to the story erin was writing. I was confused and kept checking that i had the right book but than i got it.
I really enjoyed erin. I admired how strong she was because she wouldnt ask her grandmother from money and she worked so hard just because she wanted controll of her own life.
I did find her annoying at times too. I knew they were meant to be together and she she kept pushing him away!! Hunter was complex/frustrating/adorible all at the same time.
I loved the story about erins mother and hunters dad! It was sad but it was good. And how erin had asked him if he loved her but he never had the chance to.
I liked the ending ok. I like ends that are happy ever after, where they kiss, all that. The end in this book was good but i wished it was... happier i guess. I have read other books by this author and knew that they wouldnt not end up together, but i was expecting more like in forget you. Still very good book.
I would recommend this book for anyone who likes a cute story.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

3.5 stars...A MUST READ REVIEW
Ok, so who doesnt love Jennifer Echols? I mean,seriously, her romances are so well crafted...and she makes sure that the guys are way hot. Same with this book. Absolutely adored Hunter Allen, and Erin sounded like a well-put-together girl. The stoy of their romance will haunt you and leave you yearning for one of your own. Now,to the parts that could use improvement. Reading some of the othe reviews, I see that their were requests for a better ending. I absolutely AGREE with these pleas. I mean, really, the authoress could have made it so much more romantic...as opposed to "Come have Thanksgiving dinner with your Grandmother, and it will all work out." Really!? ARE YOU FOR REAL GOING TO END IT LIKE THAT! Anyway, I also thought Erin was a little bit hard to crack, if you can excuse my parlance... I found her difficult to really empathize with.

Was an ok read....
I was really excited for the chance to read Love Story. This is my second read by Ms. Echols, my first being Forget You, which I enjoyed. I pushed Love Story to the top of my reading stack; I was so excited to read it. I really love a good love story, so I couldn¿t wait to get started on this.
I really liked the story. I thought the plot was very believable and well paced. I read the book in a very short period of time. It was a quick read, but it was also, somewhat, an emotional read. The writing was really wonderful; I love Ms. Echols way of telling stories.
Unfortunately, I didn¿t really connect with the characters, at all. Actually, I liked Erin in the beginning of the book, she was very determined to go after the future she wanted for herself. But towards the end of the book it seems like she just gave up. I didn¿t really care for Hunter at all; I thought he was a jerk. I didn¿t really care for their relationship either. They were all over the place. One second they liked each other, the next they didn¿t. It was confusing trying to keep up with them. I did like some of the secondary characters, mostly Erin¿s roommates. I do wish that they had a bigger part in the story.
I would recommend this book to the older YA crowd, as it has a lot of sexual talk involved.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, but not so much the characters. That is just my opinion, and I¿m sure everyone else will like them. Unfortunately, they just didn¿t work for me. The story, however, was great.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

I'm not even a contemporary reader, but I really enjoyed this.
I'm not a contemporary reader, but have to say that I really enjoyed Love Story.
Out of the whole book my favorite parts were when Erin and Hunter shared their stories in class. Both writing about each other and looking at it differently. "She's writing about him. he's writing about her. And everybody is reading between the lines... " describes this book perfectly. What I didn't know about was the strong back story. Erin and Hunter's history go way deeper than what I was expecting.
I LOVE the settings. Freshman college students in New York and then them going back to Kentucky with the horses and the beautiful land. It was really nice reading about college students instead of high school students. They aren't officially adults, but it shows the life Erin has to go through to survive without her grandma's money.
The characters were very interesting. I found that I really liked Erin's character because she was stubborn and often defensive. Those were some real qualities in someone that I really enjoyed reading about. Plus she had a really neat dream to become a writer and that she loved to read. Hunter on the other hand was a bit questionable. I didn't feel like I knew him and I could have cared less with what he did. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy those Hunter moments, but I just couldn't put a finger on who he is.
The writing was really great and very easy. The chemistry between Hunter and Erin were one of the reasons I stayed up all night and woke up early in the morning to finish this book. Love Story was my first Jennifer Echols book, but it's definitely not going to be my last.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
