3.75 starsAfter reading Most Likely to Succeed  and Cutest Couple , I was curious to read more about Tess. She appeared in the previous books, always there for her friends and I wanted to read her story. Although I had an inkling for why she kept disappearing and why Jeremy was present during the reunion, I was surprised to learn all that transpired during those moments and everything that went along with it.Kate Davies did a great job in bringing to the page Tess and Jeremy's friends-to-lovers story in a way that truly gave me the insight necessary to understand where each were coming from and believe that they could be great together.Jeremy was handsome, funny and very straight forward about his attraction for Tess. He believed that they were perfect together and when he set out to prove it to her he went all out. But it was the way he struggled with the lasting effects of his last relationship that endeared him to me. It made him more real to me, making me cheer him on in seducing Tess and convincing her to give him a try.Tess was a fun character to read. Very real and normal in the grand scheme of things. She believed she could never attract the likes of someone as handsome as Jeremy. She was independent, but always longing for that something else every woman yearns to find - someone to love her for who she is. I enjoyed watching her put up a fight, but loved it when she finally gave herself the chance to explore this 'friends with benefits' relationship with Jeremy.Of course, I enjoyed visiting with Kelsey and Bree and the whole reunion setting. It was great to read Tess' story as it was happening along with Kelsey and Bree's stories.Even though Life of the Party is the third book in the Girls Most Likely to... series, it can also be read as a stand alone. But I admit that it was great to read and try to remember what Kelsey and Bree were up to at the same moment some of the events in this story were taking place.I received this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.
