My name is Skylar Quinn, I just moved to New York with my best friend Bridget, and I have a confession. Well, more than one. Okay, quite a few really. Fine, here goes!

Confession #1: I'm a sex columnist. Hold on, that's not really the confession. You see, I'm sort of a virgin...sex columnist.

Confession #2: I'm in love with Bridget's older brother, Oliver. No—I was. No—I am. Wait, was? Am? Crap.

Confession #3: I've been avoiding Oliver for four years. Or I was until today, because he just moved in. Yes, you read that correctly. He's my new roommate. So that night we've both been pretending never happened, well, we might not be able to keep it a secret any longer.

And trust me, this is only the beginning.

Excerpt: Chapter One

“And that's not even the best part—they want me, the virgin English major, to write a column. A dating column. Okay, a sex column…"

My throat is starting to close, and it's highly possible that hives are breaking out along my neck. I can’t help but reach a few fingers up to rub at my skin as I try to swallow, fighting the chalky feeling on my tongue.

"And, I sort of said yes."

Well, there it is. I said it. Now do you see?

I'm a farce. A fake. In my utter desperation to land a job with a full-time salary (and benefits!), I created the worst situation any hopeful journalist could ever be in. I'm going to be a reporter who can't report the truth. A liar. A sham. They'll run me out of the city before my first column is ever printed. I'll never work in newsprint again. I'll be forced to return home a failure, begging to oversee the editing of my high school gazette, surrounded by stories about football games and science projects for my entire life, praying for a student-teacher affair or drinking scandal to liven things up. I'll—

"Um, Skye?" 

Did I say any of that tirade out loud? 

"Yeah?" I call back, pulled from my paranoia. 

But then my heart stops. 

I stop. 

Time stops. 

Even my brain stops…for a second anyway.

The full sound of that voice carries to my ears and it's not Bridget's. It’s not even a woman's. And I recognize it. 

I'd recognize it anywhere. 

"Ollie?" I squeak. 

"Skye…" he answers. Is it possible for someone's voice to be smiling? 

But I don't believe it—I don't want to believe it. I ask again, hoping for a different answer. "Oliver McDonough?"

"Skylar Quinn?" he asks, and I actually hear a snicker this time. 

I stand up and run to the kitchen, tripping over my own feet and throwing my arms against the wall to keep from falling over as I soar through the opening. 

And there he is. 

Six foot two. Sinfully dark brown hair. Brilliantly turquoise eyes. 

Oliver McDonough.

Bridget's older brother. 

And the last person I ever wanted to see in the world.

My Review
4/5

Note to reader: 
This book is the first in a series (duology? I'm not sure). I was not aware of this when starting so I'm warning now. It can be read as a standalone as there are no cliffhangers per se but it is useful to know before starting.

This book was so incredibly cute and witty. 

The writing style allows the reader to engage fully with Skye but Skye's personality is layered with so much humour that there is never too much seriousness in any moment. I loved the banter and awkward-funny moments that filled this book and for me, they made this a fun and light read. There were plenty of heartwarming moments but for the most part cute and funny was the theme of the story.

I was quite happy with all of the characters in this book. Usually leads annoy me in some way or another but Skye was so much fun to read! I loved her character. My main issue with Ollie was his "big brother" moments [insert eye roll]. I really never understand that stereotype.

The plot was a little predictable but in a good way. When you read the blurb this is exactly what you are expecting from the book and the focuses are solely on the characters and the writing.

Overall I really enjoyed this and cannot look forward to the next book.
