Kelli is busy, very busy every Friday. But she's not having hot dates or girly sleepovers. Kelli is the Friday Night Alibi. Want to date a girl your parents don't approve of? Need a sleepover cover so you can stay at your boyfriend's place? Ask Kelli! She'll be your alibi. For a fee, of course. It sounds exciting, right? Nope, she spends her Friday nights in her pajamas playing Xbox because she can't leave the house. Makes it pretty hard to meet a nice guy.Chase is nothing like the guys Kelli knows, meaning he isn't preppy or privileged and he definitely doesn't want her as an alibi. Her attempts to drive him away; pulling a waxing prank and getting mooned by him... doesn't exactly work. She's being drawn in by the boy with the black t-shirts in excess and wit sharper than Kelli can handle. Almost.I was really drawn into Kelli's story. Her voice is very well written and strong. I found myself laughing at parts and cringing along with the character in parts. Chase. He was adorable. I oddly really liked that he kept his room clean and it wasn't like most male bedrooms."Friday Night Alibi" is a light romance novel with lots of humor and a unique storyline. At times it did feel like Kelli was really young and it read like a young adult novel, but most of the time it fit. I did enjoy the book and I would recommend it to others.My only complaint - there were a few too many oranges. If you read it, you might know what I mean. :)
