We first meet Riley and Garrett in Bad Rep which is the first book in this series. Riley is Maysie’s best friend. She is snarky and independent. Garrett is the lead guitarist for Jordan’s band. He is a local townie that likes to get high, drink, throw parties and hook up.This book opens with Riley having just been broken up with by her boyfriend. She is miserable and this is made worse by the fact that she still has to work with him every day at the bar/restaurant she waitresses at. In order to move on from her ex she goes to a party at Garrett's house and drinks way too much. I think you can put two and two together by the title and synopsis.This was a fun book. I really enjoyed being in Riley's mind. She was so snarky and mean at times. I loved it! I think my biggest issue was that there was too much of her inner dialogue at times. I feel like we spend a lot of time in her brain going back and forth as far as what she thinks about Garrett. In fact, it reminded me a bit of Kiera from the Effortless series. Its not quite the same because Riley had more of a backbone then Kiera. And Garrett and Kellan were a little similar in that they have abandonment issues.All in all, I really enjoyed this book. Can't wait for book 3.
