Remember when you were in school and there was that boy who always picked on you?  Your mom probably said "It just means he likes you."  Well this is how the story of Harley and Spencer starts.  It is written from both of their perspectives, which I love.  You no longer have to wonder what the other one is thinking, you get to read both sides of the story.  And now a bit about the story ...Harley and Spencer meet when they were five and not long after the picking and pranking started.  They are neighbors but can't stand each other, or so they say.  One summer when they are both home from college they surprise each other with a kiss.  The surprise is they both enjoyed it.  Then they found out their parents (Harley's mom died when she was younger and Spencer's dad has split long ago) are moving in together.  One thing leads to another and they are in bed together (Surprise #1).  Then tragedy strikes when Harley is drugged and raped by one of her "so called" friends.  As Harley struggles to regain her spirit and the "Fire in Her Eyes", even more surprises come out.  You'll have to read the story to find out how Harley overcomes her tragedy, falls in love and deals with all the surprises along the way.Favorite Passage: "How in the hell do you stay in such great shape? ... You just seem so lazy to me.""I'm not lazy by any means.  Sports are too competitive for me.  Plus, I have to keep this amazing bod so I can get laid" He waggles his eyebrows at me.I lightly shove him. "Gross."
