About this ebook

It started with friendship. It ended with forever.

Being best friends with two gorgeous boys should come with a warning label—especially when one makes you laugh until you can’t breathe, and the other makes your heart skip every single time he smiles.

There’s Danny—the golden boy quarterback with sun-streaked hair, a killer arm, and a grin that dares me to take risks.

He’s the adventure. The fun. The chaos.

And Phillip—the steady one. The boy who sees me when no one else does.

He’s my safe place. My late-night phone call. My almost everything.

One boy gives me my first kiss.

One boy takes me to prom.

One boy asks me to marry him.

They’re both my best friends.

But only one of them is that boy—the one who’s owned my heart all along.

It was sorta ok. I like books that don't have ANY "bad" words in them. The cleaner they are the better I like them! I did like the fact that PART of the time it was written in a clean, even kids could read sort of way. But, then it would change and, well... I am an adult, but I STILL don't like to read or even HEAR those kinds of words. So, I almost deleted it without even finishing it! It was a good story line, but... like I said, to many "bad" words for my liking!

Would have given it two stars but there were two redeeming moments, one of them at a funeral. Main character is shallow, bratty and ungrateful. Moral of this story (despite what the author may have intended) appears to be that physical attractiveness is the most important trait. Congrats on marketing it sufficiently that I forced myself to keep reading it to find out how she ended, I am always intrigued by books that follow a character from childhood to marriage.

it was a cute story. However, there was way too much filler. it seemed more than half the book was filler, and without skipping large portions/whole chapters, it would have been hard to finish.
