***Copy provided for free by All Night Reads via Netgalley***Melanie Wilder is a lover of all things Harry Potter. So of course she would dress as Hermione at a Halloween part at a frat house. Frat houses are typically not her scene. But that changes when she ends up bumping into John Boy who is dressed in only a loin cloth. Melanie ends up having more fun than she expected. And from there an unlikely friendship is born.I had a hard time understanding their relationship. Melanie and John were together but for the life of me I don't understand why. He just kept pushing his way into her life. Why her? John felt underdeveloped. I didn't really understand his motives. He said he liked Melanie because she was the first person that wanted to understand the meaning behind his tattoo's. That's it?I appreciated the medical drama that gave a twist to the storyline. Cervical cancer and HPV is a topic that isn't talked about enough, especially in the college aged crowd. However,some things about it didn't flow right. The phone call to tell her she has cancer wouldn't have been handled that poorly. Nor would it have been done over the phone. And the second that news was shared with her mother her mother should have been involved. I don't care how busy she was with work. Her daughter just told her she had cervical cancer and was worked up by the campus health services. I'd be getting my daughter into a GYN office ASAP.All together it was a sweet, quick read. I did find myself flying through the pages as there was a pull to read more and more.
