B&A: does this sound completely cliche???? URGH?

Yes, sounds cliche, but you've got me interested in it. Just about all books nowadays are cliche. Boy rescues girl they fall in love. Or guy loves girl, girl doesn't love guy, girl realizes how lucky she is to have guy and falls in love with him. The thing you really have to remember is that's what sells. People love reading those kinds of stories. As long as you keep it yours and keep it original, II think it's ok. (:
