Blog Tour: Dating the It Guy by Krysten Lindsay Hager*

'Emme starts dating a popular high school student who happens to be from a famous political family. It seems like everyone at school either wants to be Brendon Agretti or date him. Emme feels out of her comfort zone in Brendon's world and it doesn't help that his picture-perfect ex seems determined to get back into his life, along with every other girl who wants to be the future Mrs. Agretti. Emme is already conflicted due to the fact her last boyfriend dumped her and her whole world is off kilter with her grandparents' health issues. Life suddenly seems easier pushing Brendon away and relying o nher crystals and horoscopes to guide her. Emme soon starts to realize she needs to focus less on the stars and more on her senses. Can Emme get over her insecurities and make her relationship work? Life sure is complicated when you're dating the it guy.'

This is the story of Emme and Brendon which is told over the course of 30 Chapters. This is a young adult novel, which was quite refreshing for this reader as I haven't read a YA novel in a while. This is the perfect book if your love of YA novels needs re igniting. 

One of the things that we brilliant about this book is that it really does start at the beginning. It starts with Emme and Brendons meet cute, which really is quite cute and realistic. Throughout the book the reader gets to watch as their relationship grows and unfolds. 

This book is one that was definitely incredibly hard to put down. I was invested in this story to the point that the emotions got involved. So warning to anyone looking to get this book, make sure you have the tissues at the ready. 

This story also shows the real relationship these two have and that there really is no quick fix when it comes to relationships. Also it enforces the fact the communication is key. Now I should warn you that the book does deal with grandparents who are not well, so readers will need to take this into account.
