Biggest Flirts is my first book by Jennifer Echols. (I know, what the heck have I been waiting for??) It was a lot of fun, and I love the idea behind the series. Each book will focus on different characters from this high school and they will center around which superlative they may be awarded in the year book. Since this book was a cute and fun summer read. Light and breezy with a few "issues" sprinkled throughout, it has the potential to be a fantastic summer series. I can easily see myself gobbling up book after book outside by the pool.

This was the story of Will and Tia, and they were voted....wait for it....Biggest Flirts! I bet you didn't see that one coming, huh? When the book started, I immediately got this flirt vibe from Tia so it was no surprise to me that she would be nominated, but Will didn't strike me that way at the start. My opinions on the two of them actually flipped as I was reading the book. Tia has some issues because of her older sisters dealings with guys. Because of that she keeps guys at a distance, only hooking up and never dating, but she came off as a little skanky to me at first. And Will came off as a total sweetie. But then when school started Will was flirting with Tia and dating someone else, and he went down a little in my book.

Don't worry though, the more I saw Will and Tia together the more they won me over with their bantering dynamic. I ended up enjoying both of them a lot. The plot uses the good ole: "Pretend-to-be-flirty/dating/fill in the blank,until-the-fake-feelings-turn-into-real-ones. But that cliche completely works for me. It was a lot of fun to read. I also loved Tia's friends, and I can't wait to see what their superlatives books will be. The writing in Biggest Flirts is smart and keeps the tone of the book very upbeat. Biggest Flirts is great for flirty fun if you are looking to get lost in a nice book for a couple of hours.
