Is what you want what you need?I was watching the Princess and the Frog at some point while I was reading this and I couldn't help having that line play over and over in my head  while I was reading this story. I mean there have been times when I wanted something so bad it was driving me crazy but then I had to think "ok so I really want this but do I really need it?" Most of the time they are two separate things. That seems to be the case for Lanie and Kyle.In just about everything Lanie does she knows she is a 10 but when it comes to her appearance and relationships, well let’s just say she has been told repeatedly she is a 2. Is she really? Of course not but when you are told something continuously, you are wearing all of the wrong things and you’ve never had a relationship of any sort, I would begin to think I was a 2 myself. Lanie is in love with Brad; the All American boy next door type. The problem is…. Brad is going out with Lanie’s self-centered egotistical sister Cassie.In comes Kyle, the quintessential player and bad boy extraordinaire. Lanie tries to enlist Kyle’s help with gaining information about Brad and helping her become more appealing to someone like Brad. What he doesn’t plan for is becoming interested in finding out more about Lanie for himself. Will he help her with her dream or try to take her for himself.I really liked Lanie, she was so strong and vulnerable at the same time. She knows who she is, what she is capable of and it is inspiring to a degree, all she needs is a little help and thank goodness Kyle is there to guide her. I felt insanely bad for her with all she has to endure around especially her family. She is so selfless that it frustrated me because she was taken advantage of in so many ways.Ms. Schiller has written a great story about what we think we want and what we really need. She uses humor and geeky references to make us laugh and takes really heart wrenching events to make us cry, all mixed in with a few,…. Ok more than a few heated encounters. I was not disappointed in reading this story and can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.
