3.75 stars *Review up* 
 This was a cute and fun read. I'm new to Shiloh Walker so for a debut this wasn't bad. I'm a huge sucker for the 'secretly pining for my best friend' trope. It's too juicy to resist so I dived right into this. I also loved the Wreck This Journal theme, it was clever on the hero's part and clearly I had fun with it if my status updates are anything to go by. :P I just honestly wished it was utilized more through the story. I thought the journal was a perfect way for the heroine Abby to break lose from her neurotic habit of making lists and planning everything. She literally plans out her life when something goes off kilter. 
 I enjoyed this so much that I was prepared to give this 5 stars half way in but some things got in the way of me hopping on the 5 star 'woohoo! train. *sigh* Dammit. Some small things here and there and the big 'blow up' near the end that was dragged out ridiculously long for absurd silly reasons. First of all, the fact that the hero Zach has been in love with his best friend Abby for 
 seventeen 
 years and she never noticed was a little mind boggling. 
 And the fact that everybody around them knew about it and Abby was the last to know was also a little hard to grasp and kinda drove me nuts. I mean...seriously guys? I loved Zach but his complete absorption of Abby and pretty much putting his life on hold for her I thought was a little too extreme. The heady all-consuming obsession while sweet reminded me too much of something you see in YA/NA honestly. *ducks head* I mean he uproots his whole life to move to the city where Abby got a job just to be close to her. And the fact that he never truly tried to move on bugged me as well. Seventeen years to be hung up on someone is a lot. 
 But my biggest hold up was how Abby suddenly goes from engaged to another man and totally oblivious of her BFF to 'Woah! You are so sexy and I want you BAD' with a flip of a switch. Like...whahuh? I really wish the author paced the story better cause the abrupt 180 came off clunky and super fast. I had to really suspend belief that someone who was in a serious committed relationship and never ever looked at her best friend that way suddenly is staring at his tattoos and wanting to lick them. I mean I don't blame her for the licking part but...come on girl. This couldn't have gradually happened over a few months? Douchebag or not, she was near close to marrying 'Roger the Rat' if he hadn't called things off. The DAY of the wedding her fiance calls it off and Zach of course is there to comfort her and she magically has her omg 
 moment. lol Seriously?? She suddenly 'sees' things in Zach she never saw before. It does happen I get that...but I guess I just wish it happened a little more gradually here. And I still wonder if Roger hadn't called things off would Abby still go through with it? That also bugged me. I really hate when authors use this fast easy loophole of jerk exs calling it off at the last minute when the heroine is too oblivious to know otherwise that the guy isn't right for her until AFTER the breakup. I'm probably over thinking it but...major elephant in the room. 
 Another thing that made me lose interest was the big KABOOM misunderstanding that had the heroine running away like her hair is on fire and freezing out the hero for a few days. Granted it was only like three? days, but the way the author dragged it out for 50-freaking-pages made it seem like weeks. It was so unnecessary and silly. She walks in on another woman trying to kiss Zach and runs out and skips town refusing to take anyone's calls. Yes because it makes perfect sense and really adult thing to do to not let anyone know where you are and if you are ok for 2 days straight. At this point I wanted to slap some sense into Abby. Here it became obvious the author wanted to drag things out real slow--like pulling teeth slow-- to create unnecessary angst when the heroine quickly realizes the kiss wasn't how it looked but still drags her feet and keeps stalling saying she's 'not ready' to confront him. How loooong it took her to confront him seemed just as loooong it took Zach to finally spit out how feels for her. 
 Like just...GET IT OUT. You walked in on a failed kiss, not sex. Get a damn grip. 
 Overall this was fun, predictable? yes, but still fun. Zach's brothers sound interesting, Zane and Ty in particular. Zane seems like a total sweetheart but I kinda want to weep that he is getting paired up with Keelie a.k.a the 'interloper'. I do not like this girl and honestly struggle to understand what Zane sees in her that has him so hung up on her. It's a little hard to swallow. And it's not even about the kissing incident with Zach. She is Zach's friend and coworker at the tattoo shop and has been pining after him for years, she makes a move on him in here which leads to the big ooooh no! misunderstanding. She's 28 yet acts like a sullen bratty teenager with a HUGE chip on her shoulder. She's a little too immature for someone who's that age. She's argumentative and defensive with everyone and I just don't get what her deal is nor do I find her interesting enough to find out. Which bums me out because I do want to read Zane's book but I'm just not interested in another Zach/Abby situation but with an annoying heroine in it's place. Meh.
