**I RECEIVED AN ARC OF THIS BOOK FROM NETGALLEY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW** 
 This was very well written and engaging-- and a great start to a new series, I think. I agree with many of the comments below: It's on the young side of NA so the characters seem a little immature sometimes and the romance is more sweet than hot, also the ending was pretty rushed considering what a surprise twist the book takes. It spends a lot of time making these characters sympathetic and stretching out their long-simmering attraction, then *boom* it blows both of those things up at the end. For me, the good in the book outweighed those problems: the writing is so smart and the characters so complicated. Neither Rikki nor Sam is perfect, and their competition is fun to read. And I liked what many others liked too-- the diverse and sex-positive culture Strom describes in the college. I also liked the easiness of the lesbian mom plot (not like that was some big deal Rikki had to work through or something), though I don't think they needed to reappear so much at the end. Overall, I highly recommend the book because Strom is a writer worth reading and she creates a complicated, interesting world.
