The Perfect First by Maya Hughes
5.0

Really glad I've gotten the chance to read more by this author. Pretty sure Maya Hughes is going on my list of must-read authors. I was very excited to see this is going to be the first in a series, because part of what I loved about this was the supporting characters, specifically Reece's roommates/teammates. They were so much fun! And the fact that they loved Seph right from the start, and treated her like one of the gang. Of course there was also Marisa, and she will probably feature in one of those guys' stories I'm guessing. This was a story I could barely put down. I would have sat and read it all in one sitting if I'd been able to. I snuck in reading time at work at my desk because it was so good. Now, I have read something somewhat similar lately, storyline of the girl losing her virginity like this, these characters stood out as a different story and I love them so much! The times when Reece kind of freaked out or tried to stand his ground at not getting involved were very realistically done in my opinion. Although, I kind of wish we'd had a bit more details on what had happened with him the year before. It was pretty much given away with what we did get, but I could have seen that being a bigger part of the story as well. I totally hated Seph's dad, and his treatment of her made me tear up. Such a good story, so much laughing and emotion and smiling and steaminess!
