About this ebook

You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits.  

There's Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect, even when it’s windblown or been stuck under a football helmet. He’s the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist, not even me. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for. He’s pretty much irresistible. 

Equally crush worthy is Phillip. Adorable, sweet Phillip, who I have known since birth.  Phillip has dark hair, a perfect smile, brown eyes, and the sexiest voice I have ever heard. He’s the boy I talk to every night before I go to sleep. The boy who rescues me, the boy who can read my mind, the boy who is always there for me, the boy who tries to keep me out of trouble, the boy who irritatingly keeps getting hotter, and whose strong arms always seem to find their way around me.  And when he gives me that grin, I can never say no. 

One boy will give me my very first kiss. One boy will teach me to make out. One boy will take me to prom. And finally, one boy will ask me to marry him. 

They will both be my best friends. But only one of them will be the boy I fall in love with. Only one of them is that boy.

Ratings and reviews

It was sorta ok. I like books that don't have ANY "bad" words in them. The cleaner they are the better I like them! I did like the fact that PART of the time it was written in a clean, even kids could read sort of way. But, then it would change and, well... I am an adult, but I STILL don't like to read or even HEAR those kinds of words. So, I almost deleted it without even finishing it! It was a good story line, but... like I said, to many "bad" words for my liking!

Would have given it two stars but there were two redeeming moments, one of them at a funeral. Main character is shallow, bratty and ungrateful. Moral of this story (despite what the author may have intended) appears to be that physical attractiveness is the most important trait. Congrats on marketing it sufficiently that I forced myself to keep reading it to find out how she ended, I am always intrigued by books that follow a character from childhood to marriage.

it was a cute story. However, there was way too much filler. it seemed more than half the book was filler, and without skipping large portions/whole chapters, it would have been hard to finish.
