The Perfect First by Maya Hughes

5.0

Okay, this book took me by complete surprise. For a NA romance, this was spot on! Maybe one of the best I've ever read. Most NA romances are immature and can make you roll your eyes at least a few times while reading. This one was really good!

Seph was maybe one of my favorite female lead characters. She had such a complicated storyline, but she was still fun, unique and a good person! Reese was a smidge of the bad boy turned good, but we really only saw a minor glimpse of the bad boy attitude in the beginning. Other than that, he turned into a mushy, cinnamon roll sweetheart. I keep waiting for Reese to make me pissed with the "always there, conflict" in the storyline, but he never did! It was handled so well.

I really enjoyed their banter and chemistry! I loved how he never let her "status" get to him and loved her no matter what. The storyline with her parents was handled very well and I was so happy to see that through.

Great side characters that I can't wait to continue on in the series to get their stories. All in all, this was an amazing NA romance, start of a series! Maya Hughes has impressed me, so much! I HIGHLY recommend this one!
