This book was adorable to so many extremes. And then it was FREAKING BURNING HOT in so may others. I was talking to one of my friends about this book and she pretty much summed up Christina Lee's writing. She said, "Christina is like the queen of sexual tension." And holy shucks she is.You feel the tension all the way to your bones. I swear the whole time reading this book I had this going through my head: "now kiss."I was ecstatic when they did and then it was on fire. The freaking KISS was rendering ME senseless! And I was only reading about it happening. (Lord help Avery with those kisses.)The story was intriguing. As soon as the started, i was riveted. I wanted to know every story that was going on between the main characters as well as the side characters (which is why I'm freaking excited to read the other two books). All of You is sort of a twist from the average NA. Usually you have the male main character being a man-whore and the female character being the one to win him over. In this case is the opposite, AND I LOVED IT. The set up was gold, motivations were in place on both sides, so it wasn't as if they were all willy-nilly with their lives.The friendship between Avery, Ella, and Rachel is so much like my own with my friends that I couldn't help but laugh out loud every time they made an endearing comment followed by a not so endearing term. You know that's a friendship.Bennett. God dang, Bennett. I need someone like Bennett in my life (quick, tell me where I can find one). His personality is one that should be sought for in a guy. He's caring (FUDGE IS HE CARING), motivated, and he's a freaking family man. I mean come on how can that ever be beat.Avery is freaking badbutt. She has reason behind what she does. And though she may look like a tough cookie, she is one soft one in the inside. In the beginning you sort of know what has happened to her in the past but it's not until she really reveals what happened that you get the full picture of her actions.Holy shucks. I want a grandma like Mrs. Jackson. And that all I'll say about her. (Just know that she was my second favorite character.)There's a sentence in book that goes, "Pain, melancholy, beauty, longing,... and hope". And that sums up the book better than I can. Just trust me when I say you have to read this book.
