About this listen

You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits.

There's Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect, even when it's windblown or been stuck under a football helmet. He's the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist, not even me. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for. He's pretty much irresistible.

Equally crush worthy is Phillip. Adorable, sweet Phillip, who I have known since birth. Phillip has dark hair, a perfect smile, brown eyes, and the sexiest voice I have ever heard. He's the boy I talk to every night before I go to sleep. The boy who rescues me, the boy who can read my mind, the boy who is always there for me, the boy who tries to keep me out of trouble, the boy who irritatingly keeps getting hotter, and whose strong arms always seem to find their way around me. And when he gives me that grin, I can never say no.

One boy will give me my very first kiss.

One boy will teach me to make out.

One boy will take me to prom.

And finally, one boy will ask me to marry him.

They will both be my best friends.

But only one of them will be the boy I fall in love with.

Only one of them is That Boy.

Very very YA

It’s a great story line. It’s just the maturity level of the main character is very young the entire way through the book and by the end she should be 26 or so. You don’t think the same way as when your 8 or 11. The swearing is beeped out and there’s no spice at all.

I found this book from a video advert on facebook. It didn’t live up to my expectations.

Story line was cute and easy to pick up where you left of.

I didn’t like some of the references to women and how they should serve a man or “get pregnant to keep him” it’s not a great message to be sending to young girls.

The worst book I have ever read

This is quite possibly the worst book I have ever read. The was no depth to the story & the main character was incredibly immature. The story line kept twisting and turning and I felt like I was suffering from whiplash in the end. Unfortunately, I dont recommend this book. Don’t waste your time.

What the heck did I just listen to?

Where to start?...with the whiney one dimensional main character? or with the plot that jump around like crazy giving the bare minimum of details about significant events while prattling on for paragraphs whenever the main character went off on one of her MANY "tangents"

Honestly reading this book was like being shoved inside the head of the most fake, overly stereotypical, blonde ditz you can imagine! She seemed like the type of person who would be fascinated to find that if she left a block of ice in the heat it would become a puddle.

What could possibly make this worse you may ask? Having the audiobook narrated by someone who sounds like an extra whiney version of your 10 year old sister. The narration (helped along by the often juvenile choice of language for this supposed college graduate character) made her sound like a spoilt little brat who just had her toys taken away from her, both at 10 and at 22.

I finished this book out of curiosity to see if it had any redeeming qualities, but honestly couldn't take anymore of the narrator's whiney voice. Now that I have finished the book....I can't say I gained anything from the experience, though being stuck inside that main characters head I may have sadly lost a few brain cells and IQ points.

if you've read this far and are curiously wondering if you can handle reading this book (particularly the audiobook) first imagine every "dumb blonde" character type from every cheesy teen movie, rolled into one character with their most annoying traits amplified and ask yourself if you want to spend 200 something pages trapped inside their head.
