I have never laughed as much as I did with this book

“Hey DICKWEED. It’s Maddy Milliken AGAIN. Helloooooooo?!?!?!?! Anyone out there?? Are you getting any of my texts and calls? At this point, you’re either dead—in which case may you rest in peace and I’m sorry for your family’s loss.”

The whole road trip was my favourite


“He’s Daffy Duck trapped inside Prince Charming’s body. Quite an entertaining combination, I must admit. He’s like watching my own private reality TV show.”


I Love that Maddy doesn’t try to change him and that she has a sense of humour.

I Love them both together I need another book of them both

This book was hilarious. I highly recommend if you can handle the way new adults speak, specifically Peen (MMC). He was definitely the star of the book. Though, 'Mad dog' Maddy (FMC) was awesome, too. Their interactions were hilarious because of the way Peen talked. He also had a super strong bromance with his roommate, Zander.

Spoiler

He even gave his baby girl the middle name zee after Zander.

Soooooo funny and the sexy times were great, too. It had a really great epilogue. Can be read as a stand-alone, though I am going back to read the whole series. Rowe was a new author for me and I really liked her writing.

I was a bit unsure about Keane when I started this book...the slang he uses is kind of annoying. And he's a bit of a cocky asshole. With the slang and the cocky assholery combined I think maybe I was picturing someone who could be on Jersey Shore? But the book held my attention so I continued. Keane's character grew on me and he definitely became a lovable idiot once he stopped being the jerk he was in the beginning of the book. By the end I was convinced - Keane's character is great, even if he uses questionable slang terms. I love ridiculous and over-the-top, so this book has made it onto my short list of all-time favorites.

I've never read this author before, so I'm not sure if this is her typical writing style, but OMG it was SO WORDY! I skimmed A LOT because it was wordy and boring, and the way the people in this book spoke... UGH! Everything was brah, bee tee dubs, etc. I'm sure all of this was meant to make the book more humorous, but it just annoyed me. Keane is in his 20s, but he acted like a child, and all of the lingo made me want to smack him because it just made him seem like an immature moron.
