Customer Reviews

Love it, love it, love it!!!!

This remains my favourite Sweet Dreams book of all time and that's saying a lot as I own 250 books of the series! I'm a sucker for the cliché romantic formula of hate at first sight, even more when it's partnered with the `girl and boy pretend to be a couple' formula. This plot is by no means original but it's a refreshing, fun and witty read. Darby and Bruce meet when their cars collide into each other's and shortly realize it's a small world after all when Darby's cousin sets her up on a blind date later that day with none other than Bruce himself. Accusations of being a `Neanderthal' and a lousy driver are flung back and forth until Darby has to enlist Bruce's help in an attempt to get rid of the unwanted attention from another student. The characters are endearing without being obnoxious and their run-ins with each other are hilarious. I owned this book when I was a teenager and lost it when I loaned it to a friend. It took another 10 years to track it down through ebay just as I was about ready to buy another copy of it somewhere else for $50!!! I've read this book many times, even now as a 30-year old and I always finish it with a smile on my face.

Definitely a must-have

I once had a copy of this book but lended it to a friend and never got it back. It took me three years to find a copy again and it was worth it because this book is so funny and so cute that anybody who ever liked young adult romance should have this title in her (or his?) personal library.

An Enjoyable Read

I read "Wrong Way Romance" many times when I was younger and still remember the characters. At one point I had intended to steal the book from the library, but I returned it and never found it again. "Wrong Way Romance" is an enjoyable read and hopefully I will find it again someday!

#1 Book

This has been my favorite book for over eight years. I've read it so many times I almost have it memorized! Darby and Bruce are two of the most stubborn people on earth, so when they're together-it's bound to be exciting! Watch Darby and Bruce as they meet in the most INTERESTING way, and fight throughout the entire book! With both Darby and Bruce so sure that they're right about everything, but on opposite sides of everything-it's hilarious!

It all started as a joke.

I love this book! When Darby is pursued by annoying David, Bruce agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend. Sure, Bruce might be an arrogant, rude jerk, but what choice does she have? Okay, he might be handsome, too--but that's besides the point!! When this game is over, will anyone win?
