The third book in an irresistible Mature Young Adult series about hot teen actors by Tammara Webber, author of the New York Times-bestseller Easy. The follow-up to Between the Lines and Where You Are will be loved by fans of Slammed by Colleen Hoover and Breathe by Abbi Glines.
Teen screen idol Reid is in deep trouble. When Dori, the community service supervisor who is determined to set him a good example, comes on the scene, romance is the furthest thing from her mind. Or his. But there's something irresistible about Reid that not even good girl Dori can ignore . . .
When I started this book, I was a bit disappointed that Emma and Graham weren’t in it. In fact, it took me quite a while to get over the fact that Graham and Emma weren’t front and center in this book because I really came to like them in the other books. I wasn’t ready to say good bye to them and I wasn’t ready to meet new characters. But when I got over that and gave Dori a chance, she really came alive for me. I liked her and thought she was pretty perfect for Reid. I wasn’t sure how I was going to end up liking her because she was one of those do-gooder characters who spent quite a bit of time doing volunteer work. She was the kind of person that made me feel like a terrible person because I don’t live to serve the community the way that she does. And she’s a pastor’s kid so I thought she was going to be a prude. But man, Dori was anything but. I mean, she was a do-gooder and she did make me feel bad about myself but she was also really fun.
Don’t get me wrong, there were times when I wanted to punch her in the throat because of things she’d say to Reid or things she’d think about Reid but when all was said and done, I really liked her character. She was a good influence on Reid and she really brought out the good part of Reid that Emma saw. Seeing Reid come into his own made me all gooey inside. I really came to adore him and I was glad when he started using his head, instead of making a mess of his life.
This was another great book from Tammara Webber. I didn’t like it as much as I liked the last book but it was still a solid read. Reid and Dori’s story was cute, fun and funny. All the things that I like in a book so I’m not complaining at all. I’m also pretty stoked to read the next book…it’s going to be interesting to see Brooke’s story….especially since the last time I saw her, I didn’t like her at all. But if I’ve learned anything, Webber does a great job of redeeming characters that I didn’t care for and I know that she’ll do the same with Brooke’s character. I definitely recommend this book.
