Jennifer Echols

Tia and Will’s lives get flipped upside down when they’re voted Yearbook’s Biggest Flirts in this sassy novel from the author of Endless Summer and The One That I Want. Tia just wants to have fun. She’s worked hard to earn her reputation as the life of the party, and she’s ready for a carefree senior year of hanging out with friends and hooking up with cute boys. And her first order of business? New guy Will. She can’t get enough of his Midwestern accent and laidback swagger. As the sparks start to fly, Will wants to get serious. Tia’s seen how caring too much has left her sisters heartbroken, and she isn’t interested in commitment. But pushing Will away drives him into the arms of another girl. Tia tells herself it’s no big deal…until the yearbook elections are announced. Getting voted Biggest Flirts with Will is, well, awkward. They may just be friends, but their chemistry is beginning to jeopardize Will’s new relationship—and causing Tia to reconsider her true feelings. What started as a lighthearted fling is about to get very complicated…

Whether they're YA or NA, I tend to love Jennifer Echols books. I have to admit, I felt a bit old reading this one though. Don't get me wrong, it was a fun read, but it was full of teenage angst that, at my age, I can't fully appreciate any longer. The book had some great fun and flirty moments and I loved the chemistry between Tia and Will from the very beginning. It was the lack of communication and Tia's wishy-washiness that were a little harder for me to take. But, I really liked both Tia and Will, especially as I began to learn more about both of them. Biggest Flirts presented an interesting role reversal in which the girl wants the physical relationship only and the guy wants more. I enjoyed that flip.

Biggest Flirts was a fast read. I couldn't even think of putting it down, even when the characters made me want to scream at them because they weren't doing what I wanted them to. (Yes, that's a thing I do. I get very upset when characters I like do stupid things or can't make up their minds.) I would say this one is definitely on the upper spectrum of the YA scale if for no reason other than the language and the sexual content. Which, of course, didn't both me a bit, but I felt like I should mention it for a younger audience.

My actual rating would be closer to 3.5 stars than 3, but since Goodreads, Amazon nor B&N allow half stars... I'm going with 3. I know I'm a bit outside the target demographic for this book and I've taken that into consideration. I do believe readers in that demographic wouldn't be as discouraged by the teenage angst as I was. I think they'd be more likely to take it in stride, where I looked at it as a bit over-the-top.

I think Jennifer has a solid start to her new Superlatives series with this book and I'm eager to see what comes next!
