I loved the Hook Up so much that I raced on to this sequel and maybe that was a bad idea. Read back to back, this one wasn't as good as the first. It was very good -- Callihan writes very well and these are great characters-- but it felt more forced this time, more like there was a formula to fill: meet and instantly connect, get over initial obstacles quickly, be perfectly happy together, then surprise/crisis, and finally happy resolution.... It's one thing to have the tone, setting, characters continue and another to have the books structured or plotted in exactly the same way. Also the initial obstacles didn't seem that believable for all the delay it meant for Gray and Ivy: why can't they keep their friendship while hooking up (and some of their "shenanigans" come pretty close to hooking up anyway)? why can't they date even if he signs with her father? Drew and Anna's obstacles were more credible because they were internal, emotional -- not situational. In fact the obstacles in this book get swept away (oh right, they can!) when it's time to move the book along. Still, Callihan has a great voice-- fun, feisty, smart. Definitely worth reading!
