Finally out of the "friend zone" Lexie and Ryan can take their relationship to the next level. There's just one problem. Ryan's newly discovered half brother, Brett. Learning about his mom's infidelity was one thing, but then never knowing he had a brother was another. Ryan was having a very hard time accepting him into his life. It also doesn't help that Brett has a big mouth and hurt Ryan deeply without realizing it. The only thing keeping Ryan's head up was Lexie.Lexie still has her battles with her mother. The good thing is that her mom has quit drinking and seems to be moving forward, but it's a struggle every day. As always, Ryan is her life line."...the way she folds into me like I'm he only thing keeping her from falling. I like that. How I'm the one that keeps her upright. Because she sure as hell is that person for me."Sometimes it's hard to accept the reality that is handed to you and it can put a toll on your relationship."Lex? Can I...can I just hold you?""Anytime you want to hold me, you can."Lexie and Brett develop a trusting friendship and it's not exactly what Ryan likes, but he has to learn to be the bigger man. The same can be said for Brett. They fight constantly and it's getting them nowhere."Ryan didn't choose his life any more than you chose yours. Just remember that."~LexieIn between the brotherly-no-so-love there is another issue taking place. It's time to move Lexie and Ryan's relationship to the physical level, but...um things don't always go as plannned. Poor Lexie! That girl tries everything to make herself sexier and put some major moves on Ryan. It's both hilarious and a little sad. It's like Ryan won't take the bait!!"He's just Ryan. My gorgeous best friend. My boyfriend. The only person that could turn any situation into the best possible moment.""If you keep waiting for the perfect moment, chances are you'll never find it."After many ups and downs, tears and screaming, a hit in the face with a volley ball and some pudding with whipped cream, things start looking up for them. They put their issues aside and focused on what really mattered...each other."Really. Lex, I've been in love with you since the beginning.""I won't ever love someone like I love you. So even if things change, that won't. I promise."~RyanThis book was everything I hoped it would be and more!! Ryan and Lexie are still awkward and adorable. Kaylee and Nate are just the same. And I think I'm smitten with Brett(he's too cute!). I can't wait for the next installment. I really want to know more about Brett and where he came from and I want to see how everyone pans out when senior year is over. Great Read!!!P.S. The banana. That is all;) hehe"I kept waiting for this perfect moment because I thought it needed to be planned. For everything to work out, and all the pieces to be just right. The thing is. There is no one perfect moment, because with Ryan every second together is perfect."~Lexie
