I did something I had never done before. I had a one-night stand. Then in true me fashion, I left my phone at his house during my desperate venture to escape. I tried hard to ignore the texts sent to my best friend’s phone... Sup, these selfies are cute as shit, but your lips looked better wrapped around my… I did NOT text him back. I DID vow to never speak of him, or that night again... I’m Amethyst Lily Tatum, and up until this point, I’d managed to maintain a fairly low-key life. I’m what you would call a socially unacceptable hot mess. Instead of partying, I’m skating, flipping ollie’s over guys who loved to underestimate me. Then I started college, met a wild girl who I would soon call my best-friend, had my first drunk one-night stand, left my phone at his house, and then, when I finally managed to meet my mom’s new boyfriend, I found out that my one-night stand, was now my new stepbrother. *this is a standalone novel*

Gripped me right away
“...maybe you could teach [your daughter] a thing about s*c&ing d**k, since your abilities are good enough to break a home.”
Despite the tension in that scene, I found that line hilarious, as this author absolutely knows how to bring all the emotions together in an anything-but-simple scene. This book is full of fun quips, awkward situations, family drama, and new adults on their best and worst behavior. Oh and it’s addictive too!
Step-sibling relations.
Cheating is depicted, for those who can’t handle that.
Mean girls.
College campus / college life setting.
Skater girl.
MMA fighter male lead.
Billionaires.
Angst—so much, but not *too* much if that makes sense. It’s perfect.
Heartbreak.
Found family.
Accidental pregnancy / secret baby tropes.
Kidnapping.
Scandal.
Lies, deceit, betrayal.
This one also made me think a bit. Whether or not you believe in soul mates, this read may just have you contemplating the concept, along with some other things (which I’ll leave out as I don’t want to spoil anything).
And as someone who pretty much sees everything coming / is never surprised … there was even a little tidbit that I found surprising—AMAZING! Love when this happens—it’s rare. I’ll leave the specifics out but … feel free to reach out or comment if you’d like to discuss.
4 stars overall.

The narration was great, and overall sound quality was perfect.
