Okay, I love this series, serious crazy obsessive love. Avoiding Amy Jackson was everything I expected it would be and SO much more. It was crazy freaking hilarious, sometimes so funny that I was laughing so hard, I was crying. And then I was just crying because I was filled with so much feels, this book has it all - sweet, sexy, funny, smutty, and it's awesomely written.Amy Jackson is a force of nature, she's hilarious, she's crass, she has random one night stands and never EVER has relationships, EVER. After a heated drunken encounter with James, it ends with James turning her down because she's drunk, which spurns on her hate and snarkiness towards him. It gets absolutely hilarious. As James tries to get back in there, cuz' he wants her - BAD. And she wants nothing to do with him going so far as to give him the worst nickname ever. But when he finally worms his way in and does so under the guise of being 'just friends', it really is truly the beginning of an awesome friendship.The chemistry between Amy and James is off the charts, but it's off the charts on many different levels. It's not only HOT, it's hilarious, it's honest, and sweet and completely swoon worthy. I love, loved it. So freaking much.This is not insta-love, in fact this story is told over the course of, I think a year or so, I could be wrong on the exact timing, but I think it's pretty close to a year. As they fall into a friendship that moves from barely there tolerance on Amy's part and purely a need to get in there on James' end, to a solid relationship.Amy was awesome in the previous book, and I adored her relationship with Ellen. I thought I knew what I was going to get with Amy in her own book, and for the most party I was right, but it also turned into so much more. She was exactly what I expected but the reasons behind why she is the way she is, was completely unexpected and broke my bookish heart. Made me love her more. I loved the full circle journey that she goes on and am soooo glad that N.A. Alcorn wrote this book in the exact way that she did.And James, well, James is absolutely perfectly wonderful. After reading this book, I am fairly positive that it is impossible for N.A. Alcorn to write a bad male lead. I thought that I loved Trent, and I still do but I really love and adore James as well. He's yummy and just crazy enough to not only keep up with Amy's insanity but to enjoy the humorous ride.All in all, this is a solid addition to one of my absolute favorite series' ever. I adore the writing style, the humor, the smexy and the sad. It was perfectly perfect and I am left highly anticipating the next book in the series, it can't come soon enough. If you haven't read The Infamous Ellen James and Avoiding Amy Jackson, you are greatly missing out. LOVE IT!!Complimentary copy provided for an honest review.Originally posted on Me, Myself & Books
