*I received this book free from Mark My Words Book Publicity in exchange for an honest review*I loved the premise of this book. The old saying ‘don’t know what you have until you lose it’ fits in well with a story of two friends who both want more, but in the end keep resorting back into the ‘friend zone’.Jacey is sweet, but I think she feels as if karma keeps her from following her heart. Every time she follows it something bad happens making her step back instead of forward.Jax is great. He’s the ever loyal friend, the one who is always there for whatever Jacey needs or wants…even if he wants more. He’s that sweet type of boy we all want our daughters to end up with.This book starts out hilariously. I laughed so much during the goose incident. But then…it flashes back to an event in their past…and then another flashback to a different event. Yes, those events may explain why Jacey acts the way she does, but for a four chapter book and two are flashbacks…ugh! This is however the prequel and in saying that I hope the next book focuses more on them in the ‘now’ and less on them in the past because they are interesting characters and I’d like to see what happens to them.My Favorite Moment: A jellybean game with new rules of engagement. Fun and perfect!
