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…
Well, what can I say about this first book in the new Superlatives series by Jennifer Echols? Maybe this is a serie that has to grow a bit more. This first book however just didn't work out that well.
Firstly, I didn't understand what the point of this first book was. Everything evolveld around the fact that Tia and Will where named ''Biggest Flirts''. Maybe because in my country whe don't have yearbooks in high school and I kept wondering what the point of that election was, as I couldn't also make up it was a yearbook related election.
Secondly, I didn't like the main characters Tia and Will. I've finished reading this book a week ago and I already have forgot most of the main characters. Will was not a likeable character, there was just nothing particularly interesting about him, so I wondered why Tia wanted to date him in the first place. The same with will also counts for Tia, nothing interesting or special about her and very one-dimensional. There is this constant flirting-fighting between Tia and Will that get's quite old during the book. Overall I do not recommend this first book in the Superlatives series.
However, I just started reading the second book, Perfect Couple, which I think is a better build up story. My review of Perfect Couple will follow up very soon!
