Honestly, I don’t even know where to start on my review for this book because I was dying laughing throughout it! In fact, I first started reading when I had gone to eat lunch on a Sunday at Applebee’s by myself. I was sitting in the restaurant giggling so much as I read, because these characters, especially, Charlee, are hilarious! I loved how Charlee would get all spastic and just run on at the mouth whenever she was nervous. For instance, introducing herself and her last name was Cox, so she basically said it was like a bag of dicks, but not spelled that way. Of course, then Rath had to keep calling her as if that was her last name throughout the story, in a way, it was definitely a funny endearment.

The second time I was reading this in public was in a Wendy’s restaurant, and the exact same thing happened, I was giggling and I’m sure everyone around me thought there was something wrong with me. You see, they played Pictionary at a game night, and while Rath was drawing a cannon, Charlee was assuming it was a penis and her guesses just got worse and worse, especially because it was a cannon shooting, so, yeah, I’m guessing you can figure out just where her crazy ideas went to. One thing I know though, if the author is getting me to giggle that much, Quinn will soon have me crying when she brings on the big drama. Which she almost did this time. But, one thing that always annoys me is when one of the main characters doesn’t even give the other a chance to explain something, they just jump to conclusions. And that happened, so honestly, I have to really rate this book a 4.95 stars. But it was so good I can’t drop a whole half a star, just the tiny bit.

In the end I saw where Rath was repeating a pattern he had before. I had wondered about her grandma and what exactly was wrong pretty quickly, so that bit fit into the puzzle at the end perfectly for me, and made for a bigger blow up at the end. Meghan Quinn also does this thing where she will start with you with an event from later in the book, but it’s not the last scene, like a lot of times you’ll see, it is something from later in the story that when it pops up, you still have more to go, and I like that! I also love that while this isn’t a series, we did get to check in with some characters from other books by this author, Bram and Julia from The Secret to Dating Your Best Friend’s Sister (which I kind of need to read again now) and Roark and Sutton from Diary of a Bad Boy.

Finally, I have to say that I love the author’s style of writing, I’d love to be that good. But, I did get an idea to help me with my own writing, and I love when that happens!
