I like that sometimes the perfect guy isn’t always the right guy. I do think sometimes he tries too hard but he really cares about Lucy. Shane is probably the character that is the most likeable.
He is a nice guy though and I liked how he tells Lucy that she has to make a choice between him and Shane she can’t have both and he gets angry at her when she doesn’t treat him well.
Especially when he didn’t want to come back to the states and give his parents “the satisfaction”. He was really up in Lucy’s business about her parents and I think he was projecting some of himself on her. I thought at times he was a little pushy and kind of a mixed signal sender. I think she learns what standing up for yourself really means. I could see her changing and kind of figuring things out. I think she acts her age in the book, which although can be frustrating to me, it’s how old she is. She avoids confrontation which I think is a problem many people have. I understood her feelings sometimes but other times she was being hurtful or a sneak, instead of seeing the other persons side of things. Although I was glad when she would stick up for herself it was almost like she would take the wrong route to do it. Lucy kind of allows herself to be pushed around and while she is spending time with Jesse she finds a little more of a voice.
She ends up spending lots of time with Jesse in the final days of her trip but at the end they part ways being that he has no intention of going to the states and she is going to college.
That’s where Lucy encounters Jesse, who she originally thinks of as a rude boy but it turns out she had him pegged wrong. We pick up with them when they reach Florence and decide to splurge on a hotel room. Lucy and Charlene are backpacking across Europe. It makes me think romantic summer in Europe, which is how the first part of the book goes. I’ve actually had my eye on Love, Lucy for a while because I love the cover.
