In the Bag by Kate Klise

I got a sneak peak of this book before the library even has it.   I love when that happens.  Don't worry the library has it on order but I got an Advanced Reader's Copy from when one of my co-workers and I went to sunny California for a library conference.  I have never read anything before from Kate Klise and I have to say I did enjoy it.  Some parts are believable, while others are a little over the top but that's why it's a fiction book.

In the Bag is about a luggage mix-up at an international airport, one teenage boy, one teenage girl, his father, her mother, and a note slipped into a carry on.  It really isn't all that complicated.  Webb grabs Coco's bag at the airport and vice versa.  Both are pretty bummed because you know Webb isn't a petite girl and Coco isn't a six foot something guy that likes to wear half washed clothes.  Webb is in Spain with his Dad for his Dad's work thing, while Coco is in Paris with her mom on vacation.  While their parents are trying to figure out how to get the the luggage straightened out Webb and Coco get in touch online.  One thing leads to another and they have a love connection.

What Andrew (dad) and Daisy (mom) don't know is that they may have a love connection as well because Andrew slipped a note into Daisy's bag on the airplane.  Talk about a tangled square.  Anyway each chapter is narrated by one of the characters.  It alternates.  I think I would have liked this book more if it would have been narrated exclusively by Webb because YA is my first love and while the parents were cute I could have done without them.  All in all I enjoyed this book.
