Hard Sell by Lauren Layne
4.0

This book is why I always love myself a Lauren Layne book. The awesome friendships, the brilliant dialogue and two good characters.

Sabrina Cross (Ian's best friend) is heroine extraodinaire. Even though she comes from a poor and sad background, she doesn't let it poison her life. She is a good friend and accepts her feelings without a lot of drama. She's a fixer and a great one at that.

Matt is something else. He is apparently a boy wonder with a huge hangup about relationships. His parents' messy marriage made him averse to relationships of any kind. He finally gets his head out of his a** and realises Sabrina is the one.

I fell hard for Sabrina. Matt was okayish. I liked Jared the billionaire too. He was much more intriguing than Matt, to be honest.

The writing was smooth, the dialogue was amazing and secondary characters brilliant. This is what Lauren does best. The scenes with friends never took away from the story. As eager as I was to know about Sabrina and Matt's story, I actually looked forward to the few interactions with Kennedy, Ian, Kate and Lara too. And it's no surprise that I can't wait to get Kate and Kennedy's story.
