I just can't gush enough about how much I enjoyed this book! I was completely shocked when I saw on the back cover that an 18 year old had written it. The writing was so mature, I could hardly believe it! I was completely engrossed from page one. The story was fun and deep all at once. Bianca has a hard time for awhile with her family life and really didn't handle it with as much grace as she could have. She ended up isolating the friends that really could have helped pull her through it. Good thing her mistakes didn't lead to any disasters, and she was able to learn from them and become a better person once she was through it all.

Bianca was a character that I immediately connected with. It felt like the author had took the teenage me and stuck her onto the page. I loved her snarky, take no crap from anyone attitude. She had a great friends that stood by her, even when she was acting like a fool.
Wesley was a great male lead. He appears to be a stuck up womanizer, but that's just the surface that he hides beneath. Under it all he's a caring guy that has problem of his own. I started to have feelings for him right along with Bianca.

Overall, this book was A+ fantastic for me! The writing was fun and light, even when handling deeper issues. I would sit down to read for just a few minutes and before I would know it I'd be 100 pages farthur through the book. I can't wait to see what Kody writes next!
