Until there was you

(Review originally posted at Fictionally Inclined.)Oh, Kristan Higgins. She is one of my top favorite contemporary romance authors for a reason ([b:Just One of the Guys 2884065 Just One of the Guys Kristan Higgins http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255729774s/2884065.jpg 2910293], anyone?). This book was thoroughly enjoyable. The narration was fantastic, and while it took a while to keep all of them straight, I appreciated all the secondary characters. I really love how Higgins writes normal characters with original flair. I really get attached to them. I even love her animals! Which is saying something, because I am not an animal person.I loved Posey and could relate to her very easily. It took me a while to warm up to Liam - I honestly didn't get what was so special about him in the beginning. But as we read more about him, I came to realize why Posey loved him. He was such a great guy, and once you actually got to know him, there was no denying that. The book was touching without being overly sappy. I don't know what it is exactly, but Higgins has this way of writing true, pure emotions. Her endings hit me like very few authors' do. I cried at this one because I was just so into the world and the characters; I felt everything they felt, and it made me sad to say goodbye.Oh! And she referenced 90210. The real one. This made me happy. :)And, of course, because it is Kristan Higgins, there were many laugh-out-loud lines. This is one of my favorite things about her books. They are witty and hilarious, usually because they are so true.❝To think she'd put on a lace bra for this. It itched.❞❝He smiled broadly at Posey, and she smiled back, unsure if that was a Want to date me? smile or just a How's your soul these days?❞❝Posey wondered what he'd do if she ripped his shirt open and licked his neck.❞❝Unrequited lust made for crappy conversation.❞❝There should be a law that no one over the age of fourteen could say OMG without a public stoning.❞While it took a bit to get into it, Until There Was You was a great read. It was funny, thoughtful, and touching. I would definitely recommend it!
