Meet Christopher Henderson. Kit to his friends and admirers. Hendo to the jocks who worship him. Butt-head (or Topher) to me and my best friend. AKA, the dillweed of a human being. Meet Alexander Henderson. Ander to the people who put up with his skinny ass. Hendo Jr to the jocks sucking up to Topher. Best Friend Extraordinaire to me. AKA, the love of my life. Meet Addison MacGuire. Addy to whoever asks because (honestly) what kind of name is Addison? Addy Mac to anyone who sees her doing stupid sh*t. And well…me to me. AKA, the girl you don’t date because... Well, who knows. So, what happens when you take one tomboy, one best friend, and that best friend’s stupidly hot, popular older brother with a bad attitude? That’s right, you get a story worthy of a teen rom-com. Because, sometimes real life is a bitch. Sometimes the only guy to come between you and the love of your life is the one guy you weren’t supposed to fall in love with. But, how do you tell the difference between love, lust and friendship? Please be aware that this story is set in Australia and therefore uses Australian English spelling and syntax.

I have to admit, it took me a while to really get into the story. Everyone seems to have a gazillion nicknames, and depending on who is talking to whom, they get switched around so frequently, it takes some getting used to.
Also, it took me some time to get to like Addy and Ander. There are so many in-jokes, rituals, handshakes, the tacky bombs... At first, it feels like they are so happy in their own little bubble, why would they need me as a reader to root for them?
In the beginning, Topher seems a bit like the stereotypical, two-dimensional player type, though that gets better over time, when we discover that he's human after all. :)
My favorite character is, hands-down, Aunt Jelly - I absolutely adore her! She's the best and truly deserves her own story!
Despite my initial misgivings, the story came together nicely in the end.
Looking forward to the “boys” getting their own stories!
