Jessica: It went on my top reads so far this year I stayed up most of last night reading it. Jessica: I was going to suggest Undecided lol. 😀 For me, I’d say: “ Undecided“, “ Cocky Bastard” and “ The Year We Fell Down” are absolutes! Maryse: What books did you love that had a “ The Deal” (by Elle Kennedy) feel? Doesn’t have to be sports guys, but I’m looking for more “new adult” stories with that witty, awesome writing and hilarious dialogue and funny situations, and of course… romance angst (but not too angsty). That’s THE PERFECT read! And we want more!!! So I asked: But best of all, that “besties” feel and even “strangers-to-friends”, the hilarious moments and goofy hijinks that have us laughing out loud, and clutching our e-reader to our chest with glee.

That we connect to (but nothing too outrageous or over-the-top). That witty writing and realistic story-flow, with relatable characters, believable dialogue (inner dialogue, too!), romance-angst, and personal dilemmas that have depth. 😉 It’s about the “feel” of the writing, the storyline and the characters, their dialogue and connection, and not so much, the “trope”. And they don’t have to be jocks (this isn’t a sports star romance list, although that’s coming, too!). You know the ones… Beautiful Disaster (<- although that one is super heartbreaking – LOVE!!), Easy, Flat-Out Love, Rock Me, Slammed… you get the picture. But to me… that one to the left? That is a recent “new-adult” book with that delightful “old-school’ feel. There are so many in the new adult genre, from super-heartbreaking, to super-dark and everything in between. I’ve been looking for more “new adult” books with that awesome, old-school “college/new adult” feel. MARYSE’S SURPRISE FROM HER FAVORITE BOOK BOYFRIEND’S.
