My Fave

Nine-Hour Date was the first of many Love Stories books that I've bought(and/or read). This is totally my favorite of all of them. I've read it probably 10 times and it sits by my bed in case i get bored. Lindsay and Daniel's story made me sooo happy. and I loved reading about all the cute things Daniel did for her. Out of all sappy, way too easy to read romance novels I've read, this is the best one.

Really loved this one

As with all the Love Stories books, we know that their gonna end up together, so really the reader looks for how. Well this book is so funny, especially Lindsey. Lindsey's mother is getting remarried for like the fourth of fifth time, and Lindsey is tired of it. Not only have her mother's other husband not it the right note with her, but her own father doesn't pay attention to her, which hurts her a lot. Lindsey is proof that not all rich people are shallow and stuck up. She is so funny and down to earth. My favorite part is when on hers and Daniel's "challenge" date, she gets on the table and starts singing "R-E-S-P-E-C-T". I laughed really hard. Lindsey is just one of the cool, fun characters you read about in books that you can totally relate to and wish she were your friend.Daniel is cool too, but what I liked about him was when Allison gave Lindsey the make over, he preferred Lindsay just the way she was. Marlon was really funny too. I liked Allison because for some reason I think that there is more to her than just a shallow self asorbed actress. She actually turned out to be really nice.All in all, this book was great. The characters are funny and quirky, and the book is great. The best part in when Daniel remebers how he used Lindsay to get a ride to get to Suki, but then had to use Suki to get back to Lindsay cause he realized he loved her!!!Great book, you'll love it!!

READ THIS BOOK!!!

This was a great book!!! It was very different from the other Love Story books! I loved all the characters. Well, I didnt really like Allison, but I loved Daniel and Lindsay and her mom and Jeffery and Marlon and all them. I thought it was real sweet the way Jeffery told Lindsay he wasnt going anywhere. It was a great story, very fun, very sweet, and, well, just great!!!!!

A Book That Won't Take You 9 Hours to Read!

When I picked up this book from the book store I read the back. It sounded like an "okay" book so I bought it. It took me a while to lure myself into actually reading it. When i finally did I could not stop! It's such a cute story, and has such a great format. I absolutely LOVE how you have the parts where Lindsay is speaking in first person, and then it switches to Daniel! It's worth all the money to buy it. If I could I'd have given it 10 stars! TRUST ME this is not your traditional Love Story! It is one of the greatest books in the whole series! I also recommend all the other Books in the His. Hers. Theirs. Series! I hope this is helpful to ya'll!

Deliriously Funny

OK, first of all, let's get the story straight... There's a girl; there's a boy... The girl and boy hate each other for the basic "She's rich, he's poor" reason. But then, a wedding forces them together and they suddenly realize they other person's actually quite fun... Then, after that, it's just one laugh after another. Although a bit exaggerated, it's a really fun book and I would definitely recommend it.
