Biggest Flirts (Superlatives)

by Jennifer Echols

When I heard Jennifer Echols was writing a new book series The Superlatives I was thrilled. I love her books, she’s such a fun author to read and she never disappoints! Even better is all three books were more or less released within a year of each other, meaning there wasn’t a long wait for each of the books to be released which is always a win!

When I started Biggest Flirts I was a bit confused. I had to check on GoodReads if it was indeed the first book in the series because the familiarity after page one was like super quick, and massively unexpected. I mean Tia and Will had known each other less than two hours before they were in Tia’s bedroom and my head felt like it had whiplash, but that was pretty much their “thing”. Despite the fact Tia and Will only just meet on page one, their relationship goes at the speed of sound. There’s no awkwardness or anything and I sort of wish I could make friends that easy, because it sure as hell isn’t usually that easy!

I loved Tia, and Will, immediately. The way they just play off each other the whole novel – despite Tia’s insistence she doesn’t want a boyfriend, and the fact Will wants to go out with old Angelica, they just can’t seem to stop themselves and it’s addictive. It’s so much fun to see them messing around and unable to stop touching each other, and having to be scolded by Mrs Nakamura. It was just so easy, and I loved it. That’s what YA is for me – it can be fun and easy, if you just let it. I mean, it wasn’t perfect all the time and there was a fair bit of drama, but you just knew somehow it would all work out.

This is such a fun start to a series and I am so excited for Perfect Couple and Most Likely To Succeed and I will be soooooooooo mad if Sawyer isn’t a big part of at least one of those books because I LOVED him. It helped that I keep imagining him as Sawyer off Lost. Just because. Biggest Flirts was so cute, so much fun and the banter between Tia and Will was electric, it’s been a while since I’ve read about a couple who just seem so perfect for each other, and for whom it’s just that easy to flirt without even really knowing it, and I loved it so much.
