great debut

Please, don't be fooled by the negative reviews. This was a great book!

good first one

Leslie is a 21 year old virgin, just tryin to find the right man. She meet's Ben a much older guy, who she think might be the one, but has a lot of extra baggage. Rachelle who is Leslie's cousin is also looking for a good man, but she can't seem to get over her ex, plus the much younger guy who's in love with her. I throught the book was funny, and a fast good read about women tryin to find the right one.

A GOOD, FAST READ!!

This was an excellent, well-written story about love, relationships, etc. The characters are well developed and you will not want to put it down. Be careful, because once you start, you will want to finish it. Excellent job, Hunter Hayes. I didn't like the ending, but that's okay because there's room for a sequel. I recommended this book highly.
