Things I Know about Love

Things I Know about Love
By Kate LeVann
Egmont USA, 2010. 153 pgs. Young Adult

Seventeen-year-old Livia wants to be more than just a girl who had leukemia. So, she sets out on a fabulous trip to visit her brother, who is doing a semester abroad at Princeton. On her plane ride over, she decides to write a blog about what she knows about love...and when she arrives in the States and meets Adam, a fellow Brit studying in the U.S., she finds she has much to learn.

This book has lovely characters--Livia is a typical teen in some ways but also has an added maturity and depth that makes her easier to stomach than some other teen protagonists. Adam is a sweetheart, and their blossoming romance is a tender look at love. The book is fun and sad and sweet all at the same time.
