This was such a pleasurable read about two seniors in high school Jaden and Parker who fall head-over-heals for one another. Jaden is the high school pep rally in herself--she devotes all her time to charitable causes, a straight "A" student, a cheer leader, and just an overall good person and super achiever. Totally opposite her, Parker is the school reclusive bad-boy with a past that has definitely tarnished his image. They are eventually joined together by an English teacher who assigns them as partners in a school project.When they meet on several occasions to brainstorm on their project, they begin to open up to each, and thus, begin their playful bantering of one another. These touching moments together will eventually lead to a more emotional relationship than just friendship; they form a greater affection for one another. The problem to this growing appeal for one another is that Jaden already has a boyfriend, but her feelings throughout the story begin to shift away from her boyfriend and gravitate more towards Parker. This developing relationship Parker and Jaden form throughout the story will lead them through many drawbacks, but it will also lead the reader into one of the most incredible highlights of the story that you won't see coming.  And so the relationship gets even more complicated...This story is a delightful, well-written journey with an extraordinary plot; fantastic characters; and wonderful happily-ever-after. ..truly an enjoyable YA, romantic expedition. Highly Recommend!
