"So we can be friends, right?"Wait, what?I stare at her, a frown forming at my mouth.Did I...? Did I just get Friend-zoned?I look over again to see Tina nodding vigorously and smiling brightly.Wow, this has never happened to me before."This book had me laughing out loud so many times it was hard for me to put it down. I mean really who doesn't love a story about a guy and a gal in denial about their feelings for each other all while bringing together a group of amazing friends and family. It was a very sweet story.One of my favorite parts in the book is the "clown car" - it had me laughing so hard my kids were wanting me to read them the book. I probably enjoyed it even more as it reminded me of my first car - a VW Jetta that would not always start but if I jumped on the trunk enough times, the engine came to life. Good times!The only reason I did not give this a higher rating is that some of the writing was a little annoying. I felt like the conversations/thoughts were sometimes a little too goofy for me to believe that 30+ year olds were like this - heck I'm in my 30′s and I don't think this is how we are; and on some occasions the writing was just too descriptive. Also, the story takes place in New York, while the dad lives in California but then shows up on a whim at the end of the story and then leaves to go back home as if he lived down the street. Really? I mean come on, if you are going to fly across the country aren't you going to stick around for a few days?All in all it was a funny romance with a lot of great parts. If you are looking for something funny and with a HEA, then this is the book for you.Drink of Choice:  Cherry Bombs
