It wasn't creepy or stalker-esque (but their conversation about that is sooo precious). You can turn your nose at it and call it instalove if you wish, but I loved the way these kids couldn't stay away from one another. Adorable, sexy, convoluted, dangerous, crazypants history.īy far, one of the aspects of Promise of Amazing is Wren and Grayson's connection. The rest, as the saying goes, is history.

There must be a big change, or things are just not going to work out, and the weird thing is that even though most people hit this point, you will ALWAYS have opposition to your change, even if it's a good one. For most people, there is a point in our lives when we realize that something has got to give. What follows is the complicated, awkward, hilarious, and tender tale of two teens shedding their pasts, figuring out who they are-and falling in love.At first, The Promise of Amazing appears to be a case of good girl meets bad boy, but beneath the cutesy cover and it-could-be-fate summary, this book has a lot more going for it. One fateful night, their paths cross at Wren's family's Arthurian-themed catering hall. Gabe's: star of the lacrosse team, top of his class, and on the fast track to a brilliant future-until he was expelled for being a "term-paper pimp." Now Gray is in a downward spiral and needs to change but doesn't know how.

She wants to change but doesn't know how. Wren is the quiet good girl who's always done what she's supposed to-only now, in her junior year, this passive strategy is backfiring. Ranked in the middle of her class at Sacred Heart, she's not popular, not a social misfit. Robin Constantine's New Jersey romance The Promise of Amazing is a sexy, poignant, funny, and authentic debut novel that will appeal to fans of books by Stephanie Perkins, Sarah Mlynowski, and Jennifer E.
