What's to love about this book?✔ Wesley. TRY NOT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM. I DARE You.✔ The chapter headings were great, I loved them.✔ The humor in this story, and the awkward moments at times.✔ The synchronized moments.✔ How the four friends spent Christmas day and the embarrassing moment between Kayla and one of the guys earlier in the day.✔ Put a smile on my face most of the book.✔ Fast-paced story.✔ The genre of this book felt like a great mix of: New Adult rolled in to Mature Young Adult. It was PERFECT for what I was looking for.✔ No F word. VERY REFRESHING!✔ A bit of a twist. You MAY or MAT NOT be able to guess it. Either way, I loved the twist just as much I loved Wesley.LOVE SQUARE:Talon likes Reagan.Reagan likes Talon.Kayla likes Talon.Wesley likes Reagan.-----------------------------------------------------------------"I love my best friend's boyfriend. But I swear, I saw him first."- KaylaKayla met Talon FIRST when they were 10. She biffed it on her bike and he tells her "awesome" when he see's her scrapped up knee.Love at first sight, right?Years go by and they don't ever speak again, until that fateful day, when her best friend Reagan gets smacked in the head with a football. Now it's love at first sight for Talon and Reagan.Talon comes with his own best friend Wesley. And wouldn't you know it, he's in love with Reagan. So now we have two side kicks, a third and fourth wheel, and both very much stuck in the friend zone with their crushes, "soul mates", and love of their lives.Wesley and Kayla do all the can to be noticed by Reagan and Talon in another form other than friend. It's so not happening though. Talon's football lessons aren't doing much to help Kayla out and Wesley's guitar playing and love serenading music isn't doing much to get him further with Reagan. So what do these two side friends do? What any one with a serious crush would do, right? They come up with a plan to make Talon and Reagan NOTICE them and hopefully break them up."That we'll all be a much happier love square if we're with the right people." -KaylaThis plan has "BACKFIRE" written all over it in big flashing neon lights. But, do these two think they can pull it off? Okay mostly that's a yes.It's a funny, awkward, sometimes fighting, big ball of jealousy mixed with sweet moments, of a ride. And there were plenty of times that Kayla felt like this: "They need a punch feature in the iPhone."Talon may sound like the hot one in the bunch with his "hot butt", football playing ways, can be thoughtful and has sexy muscles, but it's Wesley who will win you over. He may be "dorky" at times however, he's the biggest loving, caring, thoughtful person any gal would love to be with. It doesn't hurt that he has piercings, can sing, play the guitar and is a pretty dang funny guy.There were a lot of good moments in this book and quotes. I loved that this book had some great laugh out loud moments as well as plenty of sweet and awkward moments. I felt like this was a story out side of the box in the original idea department, and I really appreciated that.I recommend this to anyone who wants: minimal drama/angst, cute, funny, fast paced and just a real feel good kind of a book that will keep a smile on your face pretty much the whole way through.One of my favorite cute moments in the book:"You officially get a thousand good boyfriend stars.""What if I want high-fives instead?""You take what you can get."Content: mild language and a few not overly detailed make out moments. ;)
