A bit too unrealistic for my tastes ( )

Kate Brian is the Queen of really cute stories that make you all mushy on the inside and smile the whole time. A nice, light, fluffy read; the boys drove Meg crazy with their pranks and by picking on her all day long but she kept her head on her shoulders and knew how to behave and wouldn't let others step on her. She's a kind, sweet and big-hearted girl and her guide was really funny and sometimes very useful!

I feel like there should be another part to this. ( )

This book was a very quick and hilarious read. For a girl who claims to be very inexperienced, and can barely talk to boys, Megan learns very quickly. She is able to draw Miller out of his shell, learns how to stand up to the boys, and is even able to dethrone the queen of the soccer team. She does all of this just by being herself and without being mean.

I love that her and Finn kissed. I would have been very disappointed if she had ended up with Evan, and I am very glad that it ended up being Finn. I also love that she connected with Sean over the motorcycles.

She even went out of her way to save Doug from being suspended, or expelled, even though he had never said one nice word to her.

My issues with the book:

How was she able to convince her parents to let her stay with the McGowan's after she told them she wanted to go to Korea. Most parents would at least want an explanation and there was no mention of any in this book.

Does she end up with Finn? Do they kiss again? Do his parents let them date?
What happens next?! The ending was way too vague. ( )

Interesting plot and a fun read, that is...until the overly dramatic ending that was unsatisfying and implausible. Then again, what do you really expect in a book where a teenage girl goes to live in a home of 4-5 hormonal teenage guys? ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
"Megan, we need to talk."
Megan Meade swallowed a mouthful of root beer and let the bendy straw fall from her lips. Her heart dropped with it.
[Prologue]
As Regina McGowan pulled her silver Volvo SUV into the driveway in front of the huge, farmhouse-style home, all Megan could see was boys. Boys everywhere.
