Goodreads Blurb:
My name is Milo Caro and I have a confession to make.
I’ve been in love with Colton Mathews since I was five. He should have known that sharing a cookie with a sugar obsessed little monster would do the trick–it sealed his fate. So really, the fact that he’s sporting a black eye, a limp, almost got ran over by a car, and was nearly responsible for another person’s death? Right. HIs fault. Not mine.
I made a pact with myself–this weekend would be different. I’d come home for my brothers wedding, smile, and Colton would naturally melt into my arms, we’d get married have five kids, live in a house by the river, and get a dog named scratch (clearly I’ve thought this through).
What really happened? I punched my brother in the face, Colton kissed me and apologized, I lied about having a boyfriend, oh and everyone wants to meet the mystery man.
They say laughter always comes before insanity–ha, ha. All I wanted was my brother’s best friend…instead I’m sitting in prison.
Let this be a lesson to you all…life rarely happens the way you want it to.
Damn cookie.
Review:
There is one word that describes the book - perfect. In every single way. It is the best romance book I've ever read, hands on. I literally could not stop laughing.
So the story starts with Milo(how cool of a name is that?) going home and meeting her crush that she had since forever, Colton. Who's also her brother's best friend. I'm sure that violates a girl code somewhere but that's all cool. Basically everything guys do violates a girl code so what is one more, right?;)
But this isn't the typical hidden crush until now. I'm pretty sure everybody knows about her crush except... Yeah, everybody knows. They've kissed before and Colton panicked and used the "your my best friend's sister card" and I was like:
That's not violating the girl code anymore. Oh no, that's spitting on it, burning it, shredding it and throwing it down the Grand Canyon. Nuh uh. That's unforgivable, unless you're really really hot and you didn't mean it. That's pretty much the get-out-of-jail card for every single situation.
What's worse is the girl started crying and you know you can't let the guy that hurt you know he did. So she made a lie and dragged Max , her best friend into it and under a bus. Then the stories goes on.
Through the whole book I never knew where the author will take this book. And to be honest, I really didn't want to. I sort of knew what would happen at the ending but the journey that gets there, that's full of surprises. You really never know what would happen and you won't want to because that's the best part of the book. Just live in the moment, for my dear friends who don't like surprises.
Milo is one of the best female character I've seen. She's clumsy, cocky, funny, sassy and the recipe for disaster. She doesn't get guys which I can totally relate. Ha, the irony. She's such an amazing character and will become your friend before you know it. She's just so relatable and it's love at first sight.
Colton/Colt, is just dreamy. Milo and Colt have every girl's dream, they're the perfect childhood romance. He's caring in his own way, a little douchey(he's a guy, can't blame him) and is finding his way to love. Guys, you know what I'm saying. It's not easy to find the perfect way to express love for someone. Colton is the perfect example. He messed up so many times that I felt like banging his head against the wall and throwing him down the Grand Canyon more times than I care to admit, but in the end, he did it. Awesome guy, in general.
Then there's Max. The minute I "met" Max I tossed Colton out the window. He's super funny, the best-est friend you can ask for and... There are no words. He can give me an aloe vera plant any day.
This is one of the hardest reviews I've ever written. I love the book so much and it's really really hard not to spoil anything. I just hope I do it justice.
Anyways, I love the author's "way-with-words" and I would really love to meet her. Would I be reading the second book? Try and stop me. I'm really excited because I have an early copy and the moment I finish this, you'll know I'll make a grab for my Kindle. Got to run!
