Sawyer Roarke was my best friend. Growing up, our families were inseparable. We spent summers vacationing at the beach. In the school yard, it was us against the world. Then puberty hit, and we skated the thin line of staying buddies, or becoming more.
Until I accidentally found the pros and cons list he made about whether or not to date me. And there were definitely more bullet points on the no side. Acting out of rage and hurt, I embarrassed him in the most public way possible. Now, we’re enemies.
We’ve spent the last two years tearing each other to pieces. Everyone knows that Blair and Sawyer hate the ground the other walks on, and unfortunately, I got the unpopular end of the stick while he became Mr. Prom King.
Until senior year starts, and I’m tired of running scared. For the first time ever, I stand up to the golden boy with the whip-smart tongue. As the challenges and dares pick up speed, hearts start to fall and feelings get entangled. Despite my initial discovery, I wonder if being caught by each other wouldn’t be so bad.
Except Sawyer has no idea what I found all those years ago. And if the truth comes out about why I pitted us against each other, not only will he add one more con to his list … but he can add my broken heart as well.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
Just a little warning here: the characters in the book are in high school. I wasn't sure if I should classify it as YA or NA, but I'm gonna go with NA due to to some sexual scenes.
I loved the whole idea behind this book. And because I am a person of a certain age, it brought to my mind that infamous Friends episode when Ross makes a list about Rachel. But this book then takes a very different turn once the list is discovered.
Two years later we find Blair and Sawyer at each other's throat every chance they get. And yes, some of the things that happen are a bit juvenile and probably a bit eye roll worthy, but they are high schoolers. I certainly didn't know any mature 17 year olds when I was that age. I liked both Sawyer and Blair, so I was excited to see what would happen once the truth came out.
I enjoyed this book. It was fun watching Sawyer and Blair go from "We are not friends anymore!" to "Nevermind, I actually love you!" Their lives were so intertwined and I felt that them getting together was inevitable. It was just a matter of how it would happen.
