The last thing that the girls at the elite Jane Austen Academy need is guys. But over the summer the school has been sold, and like it or not, the guys are coming. And they’re about to turn the Academy—and the lives of its students—totally upside down…

Meet sweet and sensible Ellie who hasn’t met a problem her mom’s yoga mantras can’t fix. But when her parents threaten to pull her from the Academy just as her flirtation with the cutest boy in school heats up, will Ellie be able to keep her cool?

My Thoughts:

Since I read the first book in this series, Fall For You, I knew I just had to read So Into You. I’ve been looking forward to Ellie’s story! I’ve been intrigued with her since the first book, where we caught little glances into who she is, where she came from & parts of her past that were revealed.

How fun would it be to live you life based on a set of Yoga Mantras? Seriously! This is what Ellie does & so far, it has worked for her. However, this year, she meets Edward. The one thing she cannot understand is why every.single.time she things they are getting somewhere, he pulls away. (UGH! Just like a guy!) So she finds herself wishing (against the mantra, of course! BAD ELLIE!) that something, ANYTHING, would happen to just give her something more with him.

Edward is such a freaking sweetheart. If only more guys could be like him! Attracted to Ellie? Yes. Wants nothing more than to kiss her? Yes. It just so happens that he can’t. Yup, you read that right – he cannot kiss her. Why? Well. To him, he has a very justifiable and valid reason. So what does he do? What any boy/man does when they try to make things right. He Screws Up. The good news is, he made up for it so fantastically, that the screw up really didn’t matter anymore! (Go Edward!)

Gray really knows how to write her supporting characters. I LOVED the fact that Lizzie and Dante were in this book too! I felt that we needed to get to know them just a little bit more! Josh and Emma were back – with their matching attitudes of “drama & I want to punch you in the face”. FUN! We were treated to a new character in this book by the name of Fanny. Looking forward to reading a little more about her! I really enjoyed this book just a little more than the first one. Not that this is a bad thing! Ellie’s story just happened to intrigue me just a little more! :)
