Publisher's summary

The only things in Jersey Kincaid's world that she has time for are keeping her grades up so that she doesn't lose her scholarship to South Texas University, playing the bass in her band, The Prototype, and satisfying her coffee addiction. Oh, and the occasional random hook-up she indulges in to pass the time.

Love? Eh, not so much. Save that crap for a Katherine Heigl or Natalie Portman movie.

Jersey's seen enough in life (courtesy of her Pops) to realize that undying romance is nothing more than a myth used to sell books and movie tickets. As she knows too well, the only thing inevitable in life is death - love is definitely not promised.

That's why when Jersey meets Isaiah "Zay" Broussard, with his soulful gray eyes, quick wit, and easy charm, she's determined to remain aloof. She doesn't have time to get sidetracked by fleeting fantasies, even if she does feel an unexplainable connection to Zay she's never experienced before.

But when his interest in her only seems to intensify, despite her attempts to brush him off, she gets to see a side of him and herself she didn't expect....

This book was beautifully written... BUT...

Happiness in Jersey was a beautifully written book! There is no denying the skill level of Jacinta Howard! The way her words painted such vivid depictions were simply epic. I imagined every scene as if it were a movie in my mind.

However, personally, this book was not for me. I realized well into the book that I am past reading/listening to teenage love stories. And that's what Zay and Jersey was; an emotional teenage love. So, by halfway through the book I was over the back and forth and constant push and pull. It felt too childish to me. However, being as though they were only Sophomores in college, I completely understood the direction of their love struggles. Add that to the fact that Jersey was mentally jacked up due to childhood trauma, and you got a full dose of young, crazy and in love. And that's exactly how love can be in that stage of life. So in that regard, this book did exactly what it was supposed to do. I just realized it wasn't exactly for me.

Narration: AMAZING! Wesleigh Siobhan kills everything she touches! I will listen to anything she narrates.

Cute College Love Story

It was a cute story. I got mad a few times at Jersey but she got herself together in the end.

A beautifully written love story

I love this story and the way Zay loved Jersey. It is a beautiful story with ups and downs about young people and everything that should have destroyed them and how they overcame it.
Beautifully written and beautifully read!!!
