Love on the Lifts Rachel Hawthorne Books

Definitely a cute young adult novel about teenage love triangles. Nothing terribly deep, but very well written and lighthearted. I enjoyed the read.

Love on the Lifts Rachel Hawthorne Books Reviews

This book was good. It had its moments were it made me just a lil annoyed but it ended well. Even though threw most of the novel Kate was left all depressed and sad cause she was being left in the dust while everyone else enjoyed themselves. The story starts to pick up after a few sad chapters. I liked it though.
I grabbed the book to read on breaks. I have been on a book a day spree. It was a good book. I felt like I could relate to the main character...falling for the wrong boys and ignoring the ones who are good for me.
It wasn't my favorite of books that I read lately. But it was good for the price I paid
I love anything Rachel Hawthorne. No matter if it is typical and expected, I always keep reading her books... Just wished we knew what happened to Brad closer to the end.
Love to revisit this book whenever I don't have anything new to read.
I have lived in Colorado in the past and could relate to he weather and ski slope activities. Some of the teenage activities I did have to strain to remember that far back as to how one thought and acted in their love life and activities.
This book was sweet and cute and clean - basically a generic romance for teens. It just didn't have that WOW factor. The plot line is one that's overused and Hawthorne does nothing new with it here. Girl likes Douchebag guy. Sweet guy likes girl. Girl takes awhile, but eventually realizes Douchebag guy is a douchebag and falls for the sweet guy. Happily ever after.

Kate was one of the most oblivious and idiotic romantic heroines I've ever read. She met Brad (her brother's college roommate) once and "fell in love" with him. Right from the start she can't give any reasons why she's head over heels for him except that he's hot. She even says "What else is there?" when her Aunt asks her what other reasons she has for liking Brad.

The setting for this book is a ski resort where Kate and her two friends (all high school seniors) have to share a 3-bedroom condo with her brother Sam and his two friends (Brad and Joe). Brad is the roommate that Kate has a crush on.

As soon as Brad enters the picture it's made VERY obvious that he's a complete dirtbag. One of his first lines is about how his favorite things are "driving fast and kissing babes." He hooks up another girl on the very first night of their vacation and moves in to the other girl's house for the duration. His lines are all skeevy and douchebaggy, he moved in with another girl, and Kate still thinks he's the most amazing thing since sliced bread.

Enter Joe. The other friend of her brother's. It's made VERY obvious from the start that Joe has a thing for Kate. He's super sweet, super attentive, flirtatious with her, asks her on a date, kisses her, and is generally awesome. But she is wishy washy about it for the majority of the book (gotta get conflict SOMEWHERE I suppose).

It bugs me that authors don't realize the best characters are not 100% evil or 100% good. Making Brad a complete tool and making Joe Mr. Perfect makes them BOTH boring. There was never any 'love triangle' or any reason for the reader to ever believe that Kate wouldn't come to her senses and go for Joe instead of Brad.

I had two other issues with the book.

1) Were they or weren't they all having sex? It's kind of implied that they were. ALL of them. Kate's friend Allie sleeps in the same bed as Sam. Kate's other friend Leah moves in with a ski instructor for the duration of the vacation. Brad moves in with his new girlfriend. Kate sleeps in the same bed as Joe. While there isn't any explicit mention of sex, it's kind of implied that everyone is pretty much doing it like jackrabbits and that's something that annoys me in a YA novel - especially one that is otherwise packaged as a sweet and clean romance.

2) The "Kate-have-a-good-time fund" .... DROVE ME ABSOLUTELY NUTS. How many times did this saying need to be uttered? ZERO in my opinion, but instead it's brought up OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I know it's minor, but I admit I have occasional pet peeves and this is one of them.

Overall, the book was just mediocre. I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it that much either.
3 Stars - An okay story of teen crushes but nothing memorable. Kate has a crush on her brother's college roommate Brad. For a short while Brad flirted with her but very quickly hooked up with a snow bunny. Meanwhile she hangs out with her brother's other friend Joe who likes her but she doesn't get the hints. Eventually Brad comes back and Kate realizes she doesn't like him but likes Joe.
Definitely a cute young adult novel about teenage love triangles. Nothing terribly deep, but very well written and lighthearted. I enjoyed the read.
