The heroine in this story, Molly, is a horny, catty, hot mess hiding from her past, playing games and lying to everyone around her. The hero, Ben, is her older brother's good friend and deserves someone who can be honest with herself and him. From the get-go the book was a slow read with endless pages of sex scenes (which I don't mind, but this girl never took the time to seriously talk with him through the first 3/4 of the book), which leads me to the fact that there was no relationship development (other than the premise of their shared teenage years), and then the repetitious use of the "he won't love me if I tell him" line of reasoning to excuse her constant lies (outright and by omission). Never fear though, the story has a happy ending (of course). Even given all of this, I am still hopeful that the rest of the series will be good reads.
