This is T.J. Tims' debut novel and she blew out onto the market with a flare!! I have fallen in love with her book! With the very first chapter I knew I was not going to be able to stop reading until the last page and I was right! She is witty and funny and her characters will keep you entertained when they aren't making you squirm in your seats.The world is my OysterWe first meet Genevieve Westley as she is sitting in a cafe waiting on her soon to be EX boyfriend. She is giving herself a pep talk and you get the idea that she is a bit of a door mat, that she lets people use her. We are quickly corrected of this assumption when she and her room mate/ best friends Hailey and Tara get together. We learn she just likes to live within her own mind and gets lost in her own thoughts or lost in her painting. To cheer Genevieve up all three have a night out at the club Eloa because they all three need it for various reasons.Time to scope out some OystersWe first meet Lucas Alexander at club Eloa while he is sitting in the VIP section, and the first meeting of the eyes between Lucas and Gen is enough to give her best friend Hailey fodder for a book! Many shots, a mans shirt and a text message later and this mad and hysterical love affair begins!!Oyster acquiredLucas draws Gen into his life and she meets his friends and family, where she fits perfectly as well as her best friends. Even when HUGE sparks fly between a couple of them as well as another kind of spark?With secrets on Genevieve's side and Lucas not telling her who he really is this relationship has some great volatile moments you don't want to miss, but not all are amusing. This book does tug your emotions and make you love both of these characters. Not only will you love Lucas and Gen by the end of the book but you will be dying for Hailey, Tara and Lucas's friends stories next. The question is, when the secrets come out will they be able to hold up and stay together or will the secrets ruin it all?** I bought my copy of this book on Barnes & Noble, my review is honest and fair
