Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales.Quick & Dirty: Funny Contemporary read that had lots of laugh out loud moments, sweet romance, and a beautiful love story.  The drama was a little overdone, but overall a good book.Opening Sentence: So . . . You need an alibi?The Review:Kelli Pinkins has the perfect reputation that she totally uses to her advantage. She has started a business for trust-fund kids that need an alibi. She is your date night alibi, the girl you’re dating, or the best friend that your rich parents dream about.  While in reality she actually hangs out at home playing XBOX Live most weekends to keep her cover and not be seen. So her social life is none-existent, which is totally fine with her, relationships are a waste of time and she can really use the money.  She has a trust fund coming her way to, but she wants to venture out on her own without her parents money.  Then everything comes to a halt when she meets the gorgeous infuriating Chase Marroney.Chase is so different than any other guy Kelli has ever met.  With his insufferable cocky attitude and quick comebacks he is driving Kelli nuts, but not in a totally bad way.  The more she gets to know Chase the harder it is to stay away.  He sees through the front that she puts on and seems to understand her better than anyone ever has.  Opening up to Chase could mean getting her heart broken, and also it would destroy the business she has worked so hard to build.  Kelli has to decide what she is willing to risk for love.Kelli is a funny and smart girl with a lot of insecurities.  She has quite an attitude and mouth on her that she uses to hide how she is really feeling.  Growing with parents that ignored her has made her doubt any kind of relationship in general.  She really is a good girl, which I liked about her, but it also made her come across as immature at times.  She was a frustrating character for me, and I had a really hard time connecting with her.  There were times when her dialog was annoying and I felt that her sarcasm was a little overdone.  Some of her decisions seemed to solely be about adding drama to the story, and it made them feel fake.  Overall, I liked Kelli, but she has a lot of flaws that made it hard to relate to her.Chase is a really sweet and gorgeous guy that I actually really liked.  He comes across as super confidant, but really underneath he is slightly awkward and unsure of himself.  His story is a mystery and it was interesting to figure him out.  He is really cute and patient with Kelli, which I found endearing.  Their romance was sweet and full of lots of cute moments.  I thought that he was a great love interest and he was a really well developed character with lots of depth to him.This was a fun read for me.  It really was pretty hilarious to watch Kelli and Chase banter back and forth.  It lightens the mood of the book, but the story was still laced with more serious issues that pulled on your emotions. I liked the characters, I just wish that I could have related more to Kelli.  The romance is cute and the sexy times are pretty mellow.  Overall, this was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a funny contemporary book.FTC Advisory: Flirt/Random House provided me with a copy of Friday Night Flirt.
