The beauty of this series is that the characters really feel like young adults, with all their insecurities, their developing sense of self, their desire to drink and have fun with friends, career anticipation and worries. Aria, Forest and Carla have been best friends forever. When Aria and Forest decide to have a fake relation, Carla writes up their contract. Then Forest’s old girlfriend arrives back on the scene and all hell breaks lose. Fun all around!
Aria has been battling self worth for some time, product of old boyfriends. She didn’t have good luck or good taste in boyfriends and they did a number on her. Hence, she wants to take a rest from the dating world. Since Forrest is always fielding away clingy girls coming on to him, it made sense to be fake boyfriend/ girlfriend, but then it turned into real feelings and they got all confused. They were navigating their new relation when the only girl Forrest had been with came back to Trinity Academy after a year away.
I found their antics entertaining, although it was heartbreaking for them. Watching their insecurities, their fumbling around a new relation and new jealousies, the interference from friends who take sides, the parents who are always watching over their shoulders, was fun. Made me remember how it felt to be young and finding your way in the adult world. I felt for the kids, hurt for poor Aria, and laughed at Carla’s shenanigans. I particularly loved her quoting movie parts!
This was one of the better balanced books of the series, mixing up fun, steam and angst in one great package. Had a great time reading this one, even the very mushy last part!
