getting something in return. When a chance encounter with Reagan, the shy girl
from his past, happens, he knows instinctively this woman is supposed to be in
his life.

Carter’s attention. She has no doubt, though, he’ll soon realize his mistake
when he discovers just how crazy she and her family are. But no matter what he
sees, what he hears, or how her looney family behaves, he doesn’t run. In fact,
Carter’s family seem just as unique as hers.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
This was the first book I’ve read by Lila Rose, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I read was an amazingly hysterical story about a fumbling, awkward school teacher who doesn’t know what to do with herself when she comes face to face with her former high school crush and doesn’t know how to handle the fact that he may like her too.
I loved how real Reagan is. She’s spunky, has zero filter and is a hot mess. Who can’t relate to that?!?! When Carter, her high school crush and current NFL Star, shows up at her school, their awkward meeting sets the stage for a romcom that is full of so many laugh out loud moments.
As it turns out, Carter had a crush on Ree back in high school as well, but gave in to peer pressure and dated the pretty girl rather than the curvy one. Now that he has a second chance to get the girl, Carter sets out to prove that he’s not the same guy he was as a teenager.
The slow burn between these two was so amazing. Carter is so sweet, and I even fell in love with him. I really liked that Reagan’s size was just a fact, and didn’t become a plot point itself. Their two families were all kinds of crazy, and it fed into the madness that I loved about this book. I hope that there is a story in there for Carter’s brothers!
