It's a...Reverse Harem
When it comes down to acclaim in the yearbook, my class rank would probably earn me my only entry, but probably very little else. I don’t wear cosmetics, do my hair or really give a damn about my appearance in general. I don’t need to be cool, and I’ve managed my high school career navigating all the different groups from the nerds to the jocks to the theatre kids and the band geeks.
Kicking off senior year, my only focus is to make every AP class count and keep my grades up. Shouldn’t be hard, particularly with my so-called untouchable status. Oh yeah, imagine that—I had a reputation. Hadn’t been a blip on my radar until the end of junior year when one of the girls’ dropped that little nugget on me. Apparently, the guys at school considered me the best girl to hang out with for fun or homework, but nothing else.
While I’m not looking for a date, it’s a little hard to swallow that I ranked as the best bud and tutor, but would definitely never fall into the Girl Most Likely To Get Asked Out.
Pfft. What did I care? One more year and I was off to college, so what if the numbers of female friends I used to have drifted off and I’d scored a permanent seat in the friend zone. I had subjects to study, grades to maintain, and colleges to get into. Fine, I didn’t care about the rules or status before, and I wouldn’t now.
181 class days to go, and I’ll graduate. No problem, right?
*Please note this is a reverse harem and the author suggests you always read the forward in her books. This is the first in a series and the story will continue through future books.
Frankie and her four best friends, Bubba, Archie, Cooper and Jake, are entering their senior year in high school. It should be the best time of their lives. Unfortunately, Frankie found out the guys had declared her as "untouchable" and distanced herself over the last summer. Starting senior year, the boys are having none of that. When Frankie lets them know that she WILL experience the things other people get to do, like dating, they decide to FINALLY step up and make their move. All of them. Is it all too little too late? Will taking their relationships further than friends break them all apart? How many freaking secrets can one set of friends really have?
Ok, serious talk here. I feel like this is going to be one of those BIG series. I'm not comparing the story but the popularity here but I'm talking like GB or TVD big. This is one of those series that the characters just resonate with you. They are complex. Their relationships and lives are complex. We get to delve deep. They are friends first and crossing lines into romantic territory. While we do get some action in this book, there is so much sexual tension it is unreal. Personally I enjoy the buildup. The emotional side and not just the let's jump in the sack and bang. I get so tired sometimes of just skimming through sex scenes b/c that's all we get. Ahh but I digress.
Now, of course, we have more going on than just their relationships growing. Frankie also has another male admirer who didn't get the untouchable memo. He causes some drama in a humorous way and a bit of an “oh no” way as well. Plus we have some weird stuff going on with Frankie and her mom. Their relationship is a bit...unusual.
So at the beginning of the book it tells you up front. You do NOT get a happy ending at the end of book one. I knew that, I was expecting that. But holy fire on a cracker I DID NOT see that ending coming. Just when things were finally smoothing out and then BAM. Totally out of left field.
By now you guys should know what I like and what I don't like. If what I like is close to what you like, then you definitely want to read this book. I'm telling you now, this one is going to take off like wildfire.
