“Love Sick was by far one of the best books I have ever read. You can't put this bok down. Love Sick takes place at a college, and the surrounding bars. I chose this book because the cover looked interesting, and a friend recommended it to me. I expected this to be a great book, and it was! My favorite character was Ted, he is very good at keeping secrets and is an all around good person. If i could make any changes, i would change the ending. The author writes in a way that makes you think back to your own life while reading. The title refers to the book so well, once you read the book the title makes so much more sense. The main points of the book were, your parent's really do all they can to protect you also, you can find love in the oddest places, especially when you're not looking for it. If I can find any another books by this author, I will definately read them. I would recommend this book to all my friends, it can explain a little of everyone's life.”

“An ok book about a father who hired a recovering Alcoholic teenager (Ted) to watch over his bulimic daughter (Erica) while she's at collage. But the more time Ted spends with Erica the more spying on her doesnt feel right b/c he is starting to actually care for her. Feeling guilty he tells her the truth and their relationship takes a few curves but eventually gets going straight again.”

“Ya know, after the first chapter or so, I was tempted to break my own rule about finishing every book that I start. I didn't click with the characters, I didn't see where Coburn was going with it, and I totally didn't get it.

And I'm so glad I stuck with it! It's one of those sweet, droll, imaginative books in which the characters just make you go ahh.
It's about this rich asshole who pays a teenage alcoholic ex-athlete with a bum knee to spy on his daughter during her first year in college. Cue the sweet love story, the guilt pangs, and that life-affirming denouement. ”
