3.5 I'm kind of a sucker for first loves/high school stories so this definitely hit those buttons. But there was enough to bug me to not give it a full five star rating, but that's me reading it as a writer which I honestly can't help at this point. The main thing being the 'sexy' talk, I just can't imagine a seventeen year old with absolutely no experience suddenly being total Romeo with a side of adult sex talk. That said I think some of my issues with this book is that the first person voice is similar to my own so I kept fighting with my muse and telling it to shut up and just enjoy the ride. I liked Kyle as a character and look forward to reading more on this series.
