My initial reaction from this book was that I liked it. In some ways it is your average nerdy, awkward, and shy virgin girl who falls for the tattooed and pierced bad boy. Who is actually not that much of a bad boy after all.
But to me this story offered a little more to it, which made it stand apart from others. The story focuses on Rory and Tyler. Shortly after Rory’s roommates decide to take matters into their own hands by paying Tyler to help her loose her virginity to him, Tyler and Rory begin to develop feelings for each other. But Tyler believes that Rory is too good, and he does not deserve someone like her.
It turns out that his mom is a drug addict and he takes care of her. He helps to take care and protect his younger brothers from their mom. Even though he has a ladies man/bad boy reputation, he is mature and responsible for his age.
It was easy to see why these two fell for each other. Rory is smart, nerdy, shy, and honest. Tyler He is sexy, smart, and totally swoon-worthy. They each see the real person inside.
There is some drama, angst, and mature scenes in this book. So I would not call it a super light read. If you are a fan of Beautiful Disaster, Slammed, or Easy, then this book is right up your alley.
Rating: 3 ½ out of 5.
