4.5 Stars
Such a cute story! I completely love the best-friends-since-kids thing. The story is so poignant and sweet at the same damn time it’s almost sickening! (in a good way).
Evan and Laney are childhood best friends. They officially ‘met’ one day after Evan beat the snot out of some kid that was bullying Laney when they were eight years old. They’ve been inseparable ever since. When senior year of high school rolls around, Evan decides that he’s going to take that leap of faith and bear his heart.
“Laney, you’re that girl. The one guys make up in their head when they put all the best parts together to make one perfect girl. The man who gets you to actually pay attention, well he’ll be the luckiest guy on the planet, and he’ll know it. All that, and the fact that you never date, is pretty damn intimidating...”
So, they spend the rest of the senior year and summer together as a couple. While Evan and Laney’s good friend, Kaitlyn, receive their acceptance letters to UGA, Laney is still patiently awaiting hers. Days tick away and she doesn’t see the letter. Looks like Laney’s not getting the opportunity of attenting UGA, with her boyfriend, but will instead attend Southern, which is less than an hour away from home. So they decide that upon departing, they will go into college single so that the other isn’t gypped of the college experience.
When Laney goes off to school at Southern and makes new friends, she finds that she’s quite comfortable with them and finds she has the unexplainable attraction to Dane Kendrick. She hasn’t felt this feeling before, even with Evan. They hit it off and on top of that, somebody is trying to sabotage what’s left of hers and Evan’s relationship/friendship.
When Evan learns of her new life, he vows to do whatever it takes to not lose her.
Torn in between the two, who will she choose????

I really enjoyed this read. It had the right amount of light, angst and humor. Great read to pass a day!
