Absolutely LOVED this book! What a brilliantly different book! There wasn't just one thing I loved about it. It was everything!!! It was different from the YA/NA books I have been reading lately.Kelli is a good girl who lives in the wealthy town of Sundale. She is the perfect girl...she's a great tennis player, a straight A student, works at the Christian book store, and attends church every Sunday. She uses her sweet reputation to make quite a lucrative business for herself. She poses as every parent's dream girlfriend or best friend to some of the privileged teens in her town for a small fee of course. She is their "Friday Night Alibi." Instead of going out with her one best friend, Sades, she spends her Friday nights in her room playing Xbox LIVE. She seems content with this until she meets college boy, Chase. When she first meets him at a bowling alley, she cannot stand to be anywhere near him because she thinks he is hitting on her and Sades. However, Chase soon begins showing up at the country club with Sades. Kelli cannot see anything good in him at all, and they continue to insult each other and even begin pulling juvenile pranks on each other. I will never forget their trip to the spa! They even have pet names for one another: Stinky for her and Moron for him. As she spends more time with him, she realizes he isn't as bad as she thought he was, and he begins making his way into her heart. But, will she be able to give up her job as the perfect "Friday Night Alibi" and give real love a chance?The chemistry between the two of them was so sweet and romantic. It wasn't extremely graphic; it didn't need to be because of the author's awesome writing style. Who knew oranges could be such a turn on??? I loved the banter between Kelli and Chase. They seemed to bring the best out in each other, and I liked that they were friends. They really enjoyed each other's company not just each other's bodies.Both of them had families that were dysfunctional, and they helped each other overcome that. I thought it was wonderful that Kelli's dad saw the error of his ways and really worked hard to repair his relationship with her. I loved Sades as well. What a great best friend! Maybe we will get to see a book about her??If you are in the mood for something different and a sweet romance, give Friday Night Alibi a try! You won't regret it! You will remember Kelli and Chase long after you have finished the last page. I am looking forward to reading more from Cassie Mae.Thank you Net Galley and Cassie Mae for giving me the opportunity to read this!!!
