SUMMARY:
Collision
Course is a warm loving story about two college
kids, Lincoln Comstock and Keli Holloway, who get off on a rocky road to
romance. In their creative writing course, Lincoln trashes Keli’s first
offering before the entire class, just to get her attention. Keli is very
sensitive about her creative efforts. As a consequence, Lincoln has
started his romance by shooting himself in the foot.
Lincoln’s
persistence pays off eventually as Keli agrees to be friends, just not romantic
friends. In their junior year, the friendship endures the student
body presidential election in which Keli and Lincoln are actually pitted
against each other. After the election Keli finally agrees to go to the
Christmas formal as Lincoln’s date.
Just as
the friendship is turning into love, obstacles get in the way. Can their love
withstand a last collision?
Filled
with excitement and love, Collision Course is a happy story that will
leave readers smiling.
REVIEW:
How strong can a college romance be?
How far will the love go? What happens when a guy decides he needs no woman
other than the chosen one? Collision course is just a mixture of answers to all
these questions. Read this book with the idea of how it would sound if your
grandfather told you about his college romance?
The book is a love story with a happy
ending. But it tries to create tension in between by the lot of ‘collisions’
between the two leads. Starting day one, the collisions range from joking
comments to sarcasm turning sour to parents wreaking havoc, the couple faces it
all. Thankfully, the guy’s persistence wins the girl over. End of Story. What
is the story, you ask me?
Well, much like a set of scenes make a
big movie, the individual incidents make the book. Though the fights are
clichéd, the characters are relatable. This book would surely give you tips on
how to handle your girl/ guy, the classic way. There is nothing else to say
about the plot and the book. It is as simple as that!
WHAT I LIKED: The
story made up of individual incidents.
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER: There
could be more spice in the story.
VERDICT: Read
this book to know what your grandpa’s advice would be for your love life!
RATING: 4/5
