Hardcover vs Paperback 88

Girlfriend Material by Melissa Kantor

Hardcover

Paperback

Amazon.com:

If Kate were Lady Brett Ashley, the devastating heroine of Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, she'd spend her summers careering around the Riviera in her coup, breaking hearts by the dozen--because why not? In reality, Kate's never even had a boyfriend, and she'll be spending the summer abetting her mom's lame ploy to make her dad jealous: running off to Cape Cod and crashing at the seaside home of her wealthy friends, the Cooper-Melnicks. To add to the shame, the Cooper-Melnicks' gorgeous daughter is a bit like Lady Brett, and she seems less than thrilled to hang out with her new houseguest. Any dreams Kate once had of a perfect summer are ruined.
That is, until Sarah's cute, witty friend Adam starts drawing Kate into the fold--and seems intrigued. With Adam around, Kate feels like she just might have a bit of heart-breaker potential after all. But when a breezy summer romance quickly grows more complicated, can Kate keep pretending her relationship with Adam is just a carefree fling? Or will she take the risk and tell him her real feelings? Suddenly Kate is asking herself a question she thought she'd never stoop to: Is she girlfriend material?

Well let's see here, the hardcover I used in a lookalike a while back but I think it does more for me than the paperback. Usually I like people on it, face wise but it's just so smack in the middle and there is barely any contrast in the photo. The girl does look how I would imagine her to look from the summary though!

Hardcover or Paperback?

  1. I'm going with the HB. The model just looks so stiff on the PB & her eyes seem a little vacant.

  3. I prefer the hardcover. It's much more intriguing to me for some reason--Maybe because there's a couple?
