“Walk into the place like you own it, JJ, and people will think that you do.” Of course, he also said, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”
This book was an emotional roller coaster for me - it had me laughing, crying, and smiling. You can literally feel every single emotion that Jaydyn feels. There are parts of the story that will have you absolutely hooked and you will not be able to put the book down. However there are also parts in it that are a little drawn out and made me want to put the book down completely.
I loved all the characters in the book - Jaydyn, Danny, and Phillip although their whole friendship I found to be odd and a little confusing and sometimes down right odd. Danny and Phillip are both personable, humorous, attractive, funny, and charming all at the same time. The writing was on the wall from the very beginning that Jaydyn was torn between the two and had feelings for them both. Jaydyn sort of bounced in between them throughout the book but never officially dated either one of them. Jaydyn often finds herself picturing what it would be like to date Phillip and Danny at different times throughout the book. However, I do have to say I had the upmost respect for the boys as they took all of Jaydyn's antics in stride especially when it was clear feelings existed, neither Danny nor Phillip ever get mad at one another or allow it ruin their friendship.
Jaydyn is a little all over the place, her attitude, tantrums and things were normal for a teenage girl. As she progresses into college and adulthood, things seemed to never be good enough and she did a lot of complaining but I still found that I loved her throughout the entire book. The ending literally had me shook!
4/5 Stars - Not sure if I will continue reading the series or not, I as a reader am pretty satisfied with the outcome of the book and don't know that I would find the remainder of the series as intriguing. This is a good, easy, clean read of becoming of age, and romance. Perfect for young readers!

Overall a decent story, but it was a little long. There were parts where I kept thinking ok get on with it, move along. And JJ kinda bugged me too... there was a point in the story where she was talking to one of Phillip's girlfriends on the phone, and she mentioned this girl talks a lot and babbles, but I feel like JJ rambled on and on sometimes too (hence the story being a little long). But I did like that she was a tomboy and didn't apologize for it, but was proud of it (like me). My favorite part of the book was when she was upset that Phillip was playing football with Danny, and she had that little chat with her dad then went over and kicked Danny's a$$! That is totally something I would have done! The friendship between Danny, Phillip and JJ was great, and I'm glad they are still good friends, and that it wasn't turned into a love triangle. I don't think I could have finished the book if it had been.
It's embarrassing to admit that I made it to 82% before I was like hmm I'm having deja vu..something feels so familiar.." yes, I totally read this book in 2016
I thought this book was beautiful. Really cute story, with lots of funny moments. I can honestly say that it made me laugh, it made me sob (not cry, sob) and it made me smile and fall in love with the characters, the leading character and her world. It was a perfect story to read happy in bed, near the chimney (it's winter here) and to wish for better and happier things for myself.
Gonna start reading the next book in the series next :)

Cute story but a bit long-winded in some areas. It felt like it could have been maybe 30-50 pages shorter. I understand it’s a first-person narration, but there were times where I wanted JJ to just get to the point with her thoughts. I guess stream of consciousness doesn’t always work for me.
