Absolutely charming, engaging and entertaining story of two best friends who are perfect for each other and don't realize it. This is a book I could identify with and the author absolutely nailed the complexity of being best friends with someone of the opposite gender. Also, if you have a soft-spot in your heart for the eighties, you will love how each chapter starts with a quote from a few of the great 80's teen films (16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, Ferris Bueller's Day Off)...and there are plenty of references to awesome 80's pop music. It gave the book a unique charm and made me want to know these people. Jayne, who is anything but plain, was a delight to follow, as she navigated her return to her small hometown and her best-friend, Nick. Nick sounded sexy and wonderful, the exact type of guy you hope to fall in love with. It was fun to watch them dance around their attraction, even though it was obvious to anyone with eyes. Each character stood on their own quite nicely, but together they were unbelievable. I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more by this author. The character interactions were full of wit, humor and heart and the scene at the Stomp...you'll know it when you read it, was fantastic. How about a follow-up story that shows Carter finding the woman that can tame him???I received a copy of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
