"If I don't do something drastic, I'll be found alone with a bag of half-eaten cheese puffs in my hand kicked to death by bearded mountain goats."

This was so cute!!

Having read the Dating Season series, it was great to get a glimpse of how her unrequited love with Austin started, and even how Charlotte and Mr. Charlotte came to be. I've totally been where Chole was and felt that nervousness about approaching a good friend that you want to be so much more than that- worried that if he doesn't feel the same, the awesome friendship will be irrevocably ruined.

But do the pros outweigh the cons? Is staying silent to save the friendship worth more that losing out on a chance at real love? Tough call.

You can read this one before the rest of the series - I mean it is a prequel after all - or you can read it after the series and take a trip back in time to where it all began. Either way, you definitely should grab it!! ( )
