Prologue:

Grant

“Look around the bar, Grant. Give us an idea of what your type

is. We’ll help hook you up with the perfect girl.” My sister’s friend, Gabby, tossed a pretzel into her

mouth, and chewed while talking.  

I scanned a few of the girls seated closest to us. Fair skin, red hair,

casually sipping a beer and chatting with her friends. She was pretty, but not for me. Moving along. Dark hair,

exotic, confident, drinking a Martini. Her eyes connected with mine and she rolled them uninterestedly.

Not a problem, the feeling was mutual. Next.

Ponytail and glasses picking at the label on her bottle of beer.

Cute, but once again, I wasn’t interested.  

“Doesn’t look like you see anyone,” Gabby said, exchanging

glances with my sister, Julie.

I gave another glance around the room at the pretty faces

surrounding us, but still no one held my attention. All of the girls were attractive. Just none of them

seemed to do it for me.

Not like her.

The dull ache forming in my chest stopped me from going

down that road again.

Crowds and drinking were never my scene. I was eager to leave

even though we hadn’t been there very long. No matter what part of Jersey you were in, the bars were

always mobbed. I’d almost forgotten how crowded it could get; it’d been so long since I was home. Not

snatched up in the packed bar.

that Jersey was my home anymore. We paid the tab and the three stools we vacated were immediately

As we made our way through the hoard of people, my eyes fell

on a girl with the most unnatural looking blonde hair I’d ever seen. Platinum locks so light her hair

actually bordered on white and eyes an odd shade of blue that just didn’t look right. Even in the poor

lighting of the bar, I could see her make-up was piled on thick. Her jeans were tight and her blouse was

low cut. The heels on her boots were high and her boobs were…ginormous. Way too large for her small frame.

She stood in a circle of laughing girls, but there was something familiar about the sweet sound of her

laugh that stood out.  

After passing the group of girls, I turned my head to catch one

last glimpse of the busty blonde before being tugged from the bar into the fresh night air.

What was it about that girl? Did I know her? What was on her

wrist?

“No. Way!” Julie and Gabby both stated dramatically in unison.

“No way what?” I asked, turning to face them.

“There is no way in hell we would ever let you go for a girl like

that.” Julie laughed, patting me on the back.

“Like what?” I questioned, lifting my brow.

Gabby shook her head giggling and Julie answered for both of

them.

“A desperate girl with big,

fake boobs.”

 Let me start by saying the message behind this book is amazing. It's such a positive message for girls and women of any age who have had self esteem issues over their looks. We meet Tori when she is very young and sheltered. This book is really about her journey over the years to learn that looks are not everything. Tori and Grant have so many great moments along the way. I was really cheering for them to get their HEA. The story covers a number of years and is from both their POV's. This stands out among many of the recent NA books I have read and the message really resonates with me. Who hasn't felt like Tori at points in their life?

** I received a complimentary copy from the author for an honest review **

   This is a story about growning up. This is a story about imperfect people and how they learn to live with their lack of perfection.

Tori Albert  is eighteen but she isn't confident. She hates everything about herself and in return, her awkwardness is making others look at her differently. This is a book about how looks can determine happiness. This is a story about how people should just accept who they are. Beauty is not always the answer to life's happiness. Everything that matters is in the heart and this book gives us a subtle lesson about love and joy. Happiness can be found in the choices we make, when they are bad and not for us, these choices can make us miserable.
Tori makes a lot of mistakes in this book, she acts superficially at times but I think Grant Donovan, our male hero, is there to anchor her.
This is a very emotional book and a quite easy read. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I must say I can relate to Tori so much in this story. Self confidence is something I struggle with myself and I felt for Tori. She is always hanging with her brother's friends and never had anyone show her how to be a girly girl. Her parents are always busy doing other stuff and ignoring her. She never had guys attention and was called ugly a lot. She is determined to change her image once she goes to school. With the help of her roommate, she gets new clothes, makeup and you guessed it new boobs. She is loving the attention but soon finds she isn't happy. Grant, has been friends with Tori's brother for years but never really noticed her until now. They strike up a friendship after he helps her out a couple times. But soon they develop feelings, then he gets spooked and runs away. I really like how you get both POV's and how it takes Tori changing a few things for the family to notice and change things. By the end of this book Tori finds out that she didn't need to change, the right guy was there for her the whole time and loved her unconditionally.
