This was a good high school new adult book. I say new adult because it has explicit material. A lot of reviewers complained about the way the author kept referring to the characters as "the Emo" and " the Jock". I can see what they're saying, but it didn't bother me too much. I thought the relationship between the two leads was very sweet. I loved how "the Jock" had a crush on "the Emo" for years and framed his picture, then got so flustered about it. The whole plot line with "the Villian" aka "the jock's" ex was really strange, though. The jock should have got a restraining order or something against this guy. I mean, it was kind of rape, the way Charlie first slept with the jock, because the jock was so drunk. But the jock seemed okay with that and entered into that half hearted friends with benefits thing with Charlie. The jock really didn't handle things well with that whole relationship.And the way things ended with the emo's dad was a bit too convenient. But I was definitely entertained and will probably read more by this author. The author did a great job with this story. It may have been a touch predictable but the writing was so well done that you won't really mind. I found myself drawn into the characters, I worried for them, I hoped for them...so, I wanted to see how they coped with the things that the author threw at them. This book had some interesting plot twists that keep you in the story and, by the end of it all, I found myself cheering for the main couple. This is the first time I've read anything by N. Phillips. I plan to read more from this author. Good job, Phillips!
