***This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.***Wow. I feel like this book came along at exactly the right time for me. It was lighthearted and so much fun—a perfect chaser to my string of ‘heavy’ reads as of late!The premise of this book was so entertaining. It’s always interesting to me when I read a story about first time crushes. It brings me back to my first crush and how giddy and life-altering it felt.I loved the friendship between Wesley and Kayla. They were a riot when they were together and had chemistry from the get-go—though I don’t think they knew it. I love the idea of them ‘joining forces’ to go after what they want. I really like that it took time for everything to unfold—there was no magical moment or sudden epiphany. Everything seemed to happen so naturally.Kayla’s inner dialogue was so witty and fun to read. She was just your average girl next door with a crush on the hotshot football player–who happened to be her best friend’s boyfriend.Talon and Reagan were great supporting characters. I love how developed their personalities were. I feel like the author could’ve completely left off any dialogue tags, and you’d still have known who was speaking. I love it when the characters are that defined.The highlight of this book for me were the scenes where the four of them were all hanging out together. They were having so much fun you just wanted to be there with them!I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a quick, light read that will leave you with a smile on your face!5 of 5 yummy smelling gummy bears!
