Kissing In Cars (Kiss and Make Up #1)
So, picture this, it's 2:30am and your up trying to put a baby to sleep, after said baby goes to sleep you are WIDE awake, so the most natural thing to do is pull up a book and start reading. This was me this morning, and this was me also finishing the book in the span of the 3 hours I was wide awake in the early morning hours with nothing else to do.
"Will she, or won't she..Studious and (mostly) sensible, the only thing Molly Wakefield wants to do is get through Senior Year and graduate. Well, that and hit the beach in her spare time. Okay, fine- and go shopping every once in a while for a new dress.. (and who could blame her?) And things are going according to plan- until the day she spies Weston McGrath, handsome star athlete and scholar, spying on her in study hall. A tad creepy? Maybe. Thrilling? Absolutely. You see, Weston McGrath happens to be one guy no one can get close to. Despite her efforts to avoid it (because let's face it- the guy isn't exactly "boyfriend material") Molly and Weston form a friendship. And more...sort of. But it's a friendship that comes with a price- because Weston just cannot seem to stop screwing things up. Or saying all the wrong things. Possibly in that order.. And who has time for an 18 year old "fixer-upper" that should know better? Not Molly. Or does she?"
"When a girl goes bad, men go right after her." I read that quote once in a Cosmo magazine.
This was a cute, sweet, easy read. I mean I was in the middle of some serious insomnia, but I flew right through it. Sara is a new to me author, this is only the second book of hers that I have read, but I really enjoyed it. I thought the characters were great, and the Molly and Weston had some serious chemistry. Weston McGrath had never really been on Molly's radar. I mean sure, her best friend Jenna was completely obsessed with how "hot" he was, even though she had her own long term boyfriend. When she catches Weston checking her out in the library, she is suddenly more interested than she ever though she would be, and she certainly didn't expect to start "dating" him.
"Seriously, one of the top five reasons to own a car is so you can make out in it. I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere- Jenna"
I loved Molly. She was sassy and said what she meant. She didn't put up with any of Weston's crap. When he did something she didn't like, she told him about it. "Sometimes your knight in shining armor is really just a douchebag in tin foil."- Jenna, who saw it on the internet. She was a little bit naive, but you couldn't tell. She had this confidence about her. I especially liked when girls would talk to Weston and pretend she wasn't there, she would make herself known. She wasn't afraid to stand up for herself.
"I kind of want someone who's going to like me for the total asshole I already am. It's less work."- overheard in the locker room.
Weston was your typical bad boy book boyfriend. <--Those are my favorite. He was pretty clueless when it came to girls, and Molly took him by surprise. He was constantly saying the wrong things, and hurting her feelings, but luckily for him Molly just helped put him right back into place. I loved the relationship he had with his sister, and his sister is actually who eventually helped him fix his biggest mistake. He was clueless, but eventually he got it together. Those moments that he wasn't clueless, he was actually pretty dang sweet.
"According to your own calculations, this is strike three. I say, if she's willing to give you yet another chance, she's a real keeper. Now go be a man and prove to her why she should keep you around..you dipshit."- Brian McGrath"
I liked this book. I thought it was easy to read, and the dialogue was funny. The banter between Molly and Weston and their chemistry was great. The scenes between them kissing, most specifically, the kiss in the jeep were so steamy! For a book that had zero sex in it, you really weren't lacking because the kissing scenes were described so well!
Overall, I'm giving this book 3.5 STARS. It was a great book, I love Sara's writing, but I didn't love this one as much as I loved the first book in the "How to date a douchebag" series. I thought this one was cute, but I just wanted more. I don't know if the story wasn't long enough, or if I just wanted more relationship between the two of them. I just felt like I wanted more.
