Synopsis
Tia and Will’s lives get flipped upside down when they’re voted Yearbook’s Biggest Flirts in this sassy novel from the author of Endless Summer and The One That I Want.
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…
Opening Lies
“YOU MUST BE TIA CRUZ.”
I glanced up at the guy who’d sat next to me and said this quietly in my ear, in an accent from elsewhere. We were on the crowded back porch with the lights off, but beyond the porch ceiling, the summer night sky was bright with a full moon and a glow from the neon signs at the tourist-trap beaches a few miles south

She looked at me somberly through her glasses. “I’m the kind of friend who will support you during what comes next. If you two Biggest Flirts keep claiming you’re not going to flirt anymore, you’re going to blow each other’s lives wide open.”
Review
I received Biggest Flirts in return for an honest review
from the publisher via Edelweiss. Tia has no intentions of finding a boyfriend
after watching her sister’s terrible relationships she’s going to steer clear.
One night at a party her friends send a boy to her who she assumes is for one
of her one night hookups only to find out the next day that the new guy is a
drummer like her. Even though they never
did hook up they have this connection that leaves them both drawn to each other
building a fast friendship and naming them both the Biggest Flirts in their
senior class.
Will even asked out Tia but she makes it clear that she
doesn’t want a boyfriend so he proceeds to date another girl one who’s a
majorette with the band. However the two continue to flirt with each other and
the girls breaks up with Will because of his flirting with Tia. Determined to
get her back Tia talks will into agreeing to do date to make her jealous but
the more time the passes Tia finds herself falling in love with Will. Can Tia
change her ways and choose Will this time around or will she let him go
forever? What about when her sister comes calling?
I loved Tia she’s such a great character. I felt I was
really able to connect with her, and I understood why she didn’t want
responsibility or a boyfriend. I like that Will is exactly what Tia needs in
every way even though she just doesn’t know it yet, he’s the good guy who will
push her to do better. I haven’t checked out what the next book is but I have a
hunch it will be about someone from Tia’s story and with all the great
supporting characters my curiosity is peaked.
I’ve had this one sitting on my Kindle way to long and
after finishing it in just a few days I can’t believe I waited so long. I’m
such a fan of HAE novels and this one doesn’t disappoint. The characters are
great easy to connect with and memorable it’s hard not to get sucked into their
lives and cheering them on. I love when a book has a character who isn’t
perfect but has their own issues and overcomes them. This is my first book by
the author but right from the start I enjoyed her writing style it’s well
written and the book flows smoothly from start to finish. Biggest Flirts is a
high school YA romance with some real issues mixed in a little humor and a
whole lot of flirting. I enjoyed the book it’s a great first installment and I
look forward to continuing the series in the future.
