I've read many books by Nikki Sex before and have never had a problem with the flow of her books or writing style. That being said, I had a very hard time reading this book. It starts off with Emily altering her entire look to make sure her brother's best friend, Paul, her long time crush, doesn't recognize her. That part of the book was OK, but from there on, it fell extremely flat. Instead of focusing on the present, you kept getting random snippets of past mingled with the present. I don't like feeling the need to skim a book, but I honestly had to, or I would not have gotten to the end. The other thing I didn't quite like was the whole brother's best friend angle, when the only issue was that Paul saw Emily as a kid. We were never even introduced to Emily's brother and he was no longer even friend's with Paul... so as much as I love that story line, it didn't work in this situation.
