BLOG HOP, REVIEW, and GIVEAWAY ~ Switched by Cassie Mae

Ever since high school, Kayla has been crazy for gorgeous football player Talon. But before she could muster the courage to tell him, he became a hot item with her beautiful BFF, Reagan. The only person who knows Kayla’s secret is Wesley, Talon’s best bud—and he’s got it bad for Reagan. Now they’re all in college together, hanging out 24/7. For Kayla, seeing the two lovebirds together is absolutely unbearable. So Kayla and Wesley hatch a plot to drive them apart before Talon has a chance to give Reagan the Christmas gift she’s been waiting for.

Soon enough, the once happy couple is fighting. Reagan suddenly can’t get enough of Wesley’s goofy sense of humor, and Talon seems to be paying more attention to Kayla than a guy who’s “only a friend” ever should. But just when everything seems to be falling into place, Kayla and Wesley accidentally spend a night together and discover a hitch in their plan they never considered: that switching partners may not lead to a perfect ending after all.

5 CUTE STARS!! 

I just LOVE it when a book catches me unawares and delivers a satisfying story filled with fab fun, laughter, and the perfect amount of angst! From the very beginning, I was kept fully entertained and to be honest, the last time I laughed SO MUCH and SO HARD was back in July when I read Tara Sivec and Emma Chase’s books. So yeah, that says something. 

Kayla

She’s sweet, fun-loving, and full of life. A bit on the shy side, but still a wonderful friend to have! Except for one teensy problem:

“I love my best friend’s boyfriend. But I swear, I saw him first.” 

Kayla’s been carrying a torch for Talon, her best friend Reagan’s boyfriend since high school. 

Wesley

He’s nerdy, witty, and down-to-earth. The perfect friend a guy could have. Except for one teensy problem:

“…Wesley came with Talon. The tag-along best friend who is hopelessly in love with someone who’s unavailable.” 

Talon and Reagan

The star couple, and the crux of Kayla and Wesley's problems. They are blissfully oblivious to their best friends' crushes on each other...or are they?

In a nutshell:

Kayla likes ----> Talon

Reagan likes ----> Talon

Wesley likes ----> Reagan

Talon likes ----> Reagan

Nobody likes ----> Kayla

Nobody likes ----> Wesley

*sigh* And the circle of life continues...

Until Kayla and Wesley hatch a diabolical but HILARIOUS plan to break up Talon and Reagan, forcing the two to see what they're really missing. I don’t want to go into detail about what follows as a result of their plans, but boy, I was laughing and giggling at 5 in the morning!! I can't put my finger on it, but there is this special something about this book that has the ability to enchant and suck you right into the story. Though this book’s premise may be predictable and cheesy, the author totally turned it into something unique, and brought out a fresh NA story to the table. There’s even a nice twist that I never saw coming because I was so captivated by the story and more concerned with flipping the pages. 

This book definitely went above and beyond my expectations, and that sensational feeling isn’t a common one if you’re someone who reads so many books per week. Cassie Mae is definitely a watch-out-for author, and I’ll be checking out her other books soon!
