I really enjoyed this book! I have read a lot of books in this genre, but I just found something different and refreshing about this story. The characters were easy to like and were real. It wasn't just a love story, it also dealt with serious issues that are current to the world today.I found the dynamic between Hadley and Jack to be unique and interesting. I know that there is nothing new about being "friends with benefits", but he was the one who was willing to make their relationship into something more (I liked this aspect). Hadley was so against falling in love and was willing to fight it tooth and nail. She made rules that they needed to follow in order for their "relationship" to work out - no going out for dinner, no sleepovers, no pet names, and no falling in love! Jack was willing to go along with her set of rules, but he wanted to break them. They were complete opposites which made their story that much better. She was an over-achiever extraordinaire....he was a self-proclaimed lazy man! She was the Editor-in-Chief of the university newspaper and a very serious student. She knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life and what her dream job would be. Jack was very casual, lazy, essentially a slacker. He didn't have a clue about what he wanted to do with his life - he didn't even really want a job.I don't want to give too much away...I want people to read this book for themselves. The way they met, their relationship, their pasts, their friendships, and their rocky road to each other made this book a definite page-turner!
