|
there are two sides to every breakup. This is Jordan and Courtney, totally in love. Sure, they were an unlikely high school couple. But they clicked; it worked. They're even going to the same college, and driving cross-country together for orientation. Then Jordan dumps Courtney -- for a girl he met on the Internet. It's too late to change plans, so the road trip is on. Courtney's heartbroken, but figures she can tough it out for a few days. La la la -- this is Courtney pretending not to care. But in a strange twist, Jordan cares. A lot. Turns out, he's got a secret or two that he's not telling Courtney. And it has everything to do with why they broke up, why they can't get back together, and how, in spite of it all, this couple is destined for each other.

GREAT BOOK! It was reccomended to me and I read it in one night. It was a very enjoyable read with a great story told from two points of view. I wish there was a sequel because I loved it a lot. Great for 13-25 year olds.

Teens will enjoy this. It was an easy read. There were parts that had me laughing. I enjoyed reading Jordan's point of view more than I did Courtney's.

Jordan and Courtney were an unlikely high school couple, but it really didn't matter because they were in love. They even planned to drive together to college orientation since they're going to the same college. But then Jordan dumps Courtney for a MySpace girl. Courtney is devastated, but she won't give Jordan the satisfaction of seeing her mope, even though that's extremely difficult for her. And now they still have that road trip to go on since it's too late to change plans. What Courtney doesn't know, though, is that there's a reason Jordan wants to go on this road trip with Courtney and a couple secrets he hasn't told her which have to do with why they broke up in the first place. Two-Way Street is the story of first love and true love in the midst of hardship.
Two-Way Street was a much better novel than I thought it would be. It's told from both Jordan's and Courtney's perspectives so you understand both their sides of the story. I enjoyed the flashbacks to before the trip, because it was really obvious how perfect Jordan and Courtney were for each other, even when Jordan's secret became too much for him to bear. I was hoping through the entire story that Jordan and Courtney would work out their issues because it felt that they were totally meant to be together. This story and the characters had a lot more depth than I expected from what I thought was a simple romance story. The complications to Jordan and Courtney's relationship added some humor and well as meaning to the novel. Overall, Two-Way Street was very enjoyable to read and much more than just a romance novel. I recommend this book to all teen girls, but other readers may also enjoy it. I truly did love Two-Way Street and may read a couple of Lauren Barnholdt's other novels.

it's something different and unique. i was pretty satisfied with it and would give it 4 and a half stars. i liked the way the author wrote from the point of view of both jordan and courtney and kept switching from past to present; i thought it would be confusing but the author made sure that didn't happen. the suspense is also good and i can tell because when the secret is revealed to the reader, i literally gasped and stared gapelessly at the page for like thirty seconds. the love story is sweet and cute. the only thing i didn't like about the book was the writing style itself. it sounded like a distressed cheerleader talking the whole time; maybe because it sounded so much like a teenager talking i didn't like it, because i prefer more sophisticated writing. overall, a quick read, i finished it in several hours.

This is my new favorite book. It really captures the feelings between the two characters on their roadtrip to college. It was a great read. I would strongly recommend it to others.

this book has the modern twist of what it is really like to be a teen now a days. i like how it goes from the past to the actual trip. although i like chapters mostly about "the trip" then i do the past, i still like the book.

i've read this book so many times, the pages are all dog-eared and i still love it too pieces.
Courtney and Jordan are so great together and they just can't see that, it took them three whole days, jam-packed with drama and lies, to figure out what they have is so, ultimately, perfect, and they belong together. This book is the best and i recommend you read it. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-01-22 03:04:18 EST)

It was a cute, quick read and held my attention the whole time. Once a got a little way through the book I figued it out, but it was still interesting to see how everything was figured out in the end.

I really like the way the story is told from both of their perspectives. It shows the same day or events twice but from the male and female perspective and in a rotation of chapters. There's a little bit of suspense from wondering what kind of blackmail Courtney's dad is using against her ex. but it gets resolved too easily in the end. It was a bit of a let down but it kept me reading. Also, I wonder if high school guys really use f*** and it's various spellings that much?

this book is hard to read at first since it jumps back and forth between
different times of the year, but once you get into it..... its just amazing. maybe this wouldnt happen to all of us, but it's easy to relate to. and the love that is between these two is something all of us secretly envy. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-11-22 22:03:23 EST)

This is the first book that I have read from Lauren Barnholdt and it's awesome. This is about a ex couple going on a road trip to college. It has a lot of twists and turns. It's told in both point of views, which make it even more entertaining.

I found this book on Amazon, and ordered it. Thinking that it was a good book. I ended up going to Borders with a few friends and finding it. I started reading it and i was hooked. It was interesting seeing how these two met and how everything works out.
I ended up buying it, because my ordered was cancelled and i couldnt wait. I read it and loved it. Even though usually i would have gotten mad because of how she reacts through most of the book. You still have to love their relationship. Even though it was fairly shorter than most the books i read. i Like her writing. even though sometimes i wanted to skip ahead and read what finally happens!
