If I had a list of all my favorite things to include in a book, this one would check every box!! This book had humor, angst, joy, sadness and romance. It had amazing characters and a fantastic storyline. And, if that's not enough, it had the seamless, smooth writing that I've come to associate with Ms. Layne. This book is the whole package...I couldn't put it down and am still thinking about it long after I closed the back cover! 
 I must start by telling you how much I loved the main characters in this book. Chloe was sassy and smart, funny, and straight forward. She didn't take any bull and she wasn't afraid to call a spade a spade. I loved her view of the world and her outlook on life. She was feisty and took on our hero without much fuss. And, best of all, she felt like someone I'd like to be friends with! Michael is a bit darker. He's been hurt (and has hurt others) in his past and he has a tendency to be moody. We met him in the first book in this series and, to be honest, I didn't care for him then. Boy, was I wrong. The Michael we meet in this story can definitely be a jerk at times but, ultimately, he's trying to make the best of a tough situation and he has a really big heart. The chemistry between these two is delicious...it's fireworks and puffy hearts and angst and sexy smooches. There's no way you could read this book and not want these two together! 
 I really enjoyed the storyline here as well. Chloe loves her sister's boyfriend and always has...after all, they were friends long before he started dating Kristin. Michael wants to use Chloe's sister to get closer to Devon (the previously mentioned boyfriend) because of family issues. They decide that they can work together to break up the happy couple and, ultimately, get what they want. But...they get so much more than they bargained for. I loved the dual POV's because, as usual, I'm greedy and like to see what everyone is thinking. And I adored the fact that we get a reunion of sorts with the characters from the first book, Olivia and Paul, making an appearance. This group of friends has amazing chemistry. 
 So...would I recommend this book? OH YA!! I would absolutely recommend this series to anyone who wants to dive into a story with amazing characters, a great storyline and fantastic writing. Give it a try and let me know...I'll just be standing here waiting for book 3!!! *stares at Ms. Layne*
