Sadie, Darcy, and Rosanna are living together in New York City the summer before their freshman year of college begins. With no parents, no rules, and an entire city to explore, these three girls are on the verge of the best summer of their lives.
Sadie is a native New Yorker. She is hopeful, romantic, and an eternal optimist who is ready to find her soul mate. Then she meets her dream boy: cute, funny, and quirky in all the right ways. The chemistry between them is unreal. Could he be the one?
Darcy is a free spirit from SoCal with rebellious tendencies and unlimited financial resources. Moving to New York City is just another adventure for her. Darcy wants this summer to be all about boy adventures—nothing serious. But how much fun is too much?
Rosanna leaves Chicago for NYC so she can put her past behind her and reinvent herself. The only thing standing in her way is the grand total of seventy-three cents she has saved. Then she meets a guy who wants to show her the glamorous side of New York—a side that she would never get to experience on her own. If Rosanna doesn't resist, she may find herself in city love.
Told from alternating points of view, City Love captures the moments in each girl's life when everything is thrilling, amazing, and terrifying all at once . . . in a way it will never be again.

RATING: 2.75 stars
Let's just say that this book is the reason I don't read romance books, or love stories. They're cheesy, so unrealistic and too predictable. There's no originality. First of all, I want to go on record to say I'm in a happily, loving and committed relationship, and have been for the past six years. I have nothing against love. If anything, I love love. I love being in love. With that said, I just think love stories are so... blah. I can do cheesy, I'm OK with cute, fluffy reads (and movies), but sometimes, maybe it's the author's writing, but sometimes the romance can fall short of sweet, and then it becomes boring and over-the-top corny. It took me so long to read this book that I actually regret finishing it. I contemplated DNFing this book but wanted to give this author a chance, but it was so hard to focus and so hard to get into the story when the plot line was all over the place! In no way am I bashing the author, I will be giving her other books a try, I think this is more of my personal problem towards romance stories. It's hard to sweep me off my feet and make my heart skip a beat or get me to be this mushy person (I swear, I'm a great gf, hahahaha) but this was a difficult read. I couldn't relate to any of the characters, and the story ended just as two characters were in the middle of a conflict and I'm not sure whether that was an intentional cliffhanger, not that it matters since the story line was so wacky, immature and so bland to start with. If you're looking for a romance with an early teenaged mentality, this is the book for you. Otherwise, don't bother.
