The Now series consists of three books and is about the love lives of two sisters, Emmaline and Layla. I thoroughly enjoyed the series and commend the author for spinning enthralling stories of two sisters with very different personalities. This book is the first of the series and focuses on Emmaline who was artistic, introverted and feminine. Though shy and a wallflower in high school, she bravely went to Paris for college and experienced a sexual awakening. Throughout high school, she had a major crush on her neighbor, Cole, who was a few years older than her. After Paris, she was back in Chicago working as a graphic artist and bumped into Cole in a coffee shop. Sparks flew and Cole was attracted to her and started pursuing her. However, feeling insecure and felt that she lived in the shadow of her flamboyant older sister, she was hesitant in getting into a relationship with Cole who was relentless. I enjoyed the chemistry between Emma and Cole though Emma could be frustrating with her insecurities. Though she was shy and passive, she was never needy in her relationship with Cole.
