Review: Flirting with Maybe by Wendy Higgins

Flirting With Maybe By Wendy Higgins

Rating: 4 stars

 When sophomore Ryan "The Kid" McPhearson makes the Varsity baseball team, he finds himself submersed into the life of upperclassmen, and falling in love with senior Brooke Bennet. To Ryan she's his dream girl, perfect. Maybe to the outside world a two-year age difference doesn't matter, but this is high school. Everything matters.

Ryan soon realizes Brooke's life is not so perfect. He becomes her closest friend, her safe place to fall when she needs to escape. Ryan seems to be benched in the friend zone with no chance to bat.

Time is both a curse and a blessing. It ushers Brooke away to college, and Ryan into the arms of his first girlfriend. It alters Ryan from a kid to a high school graduate, ready to venture to college himself. But when Ryan sees Brooke again he realizes there are some things even time can't touch.

Though much has changed, one question still remains. Will the things that mattered in high school always stand between them?

What I liked:

I originally got this novella for the first chapter of Sweet Peril, but I got so much more! This book was so cute!  

The story is written in 3rd person and is told mostly written from Ryan's perspective, which I thought was absolutely perfect! I fell in love with his character almost immediately, his love for Brooke was so unconditional and true, loved it!

Wendy Higgins did an excellent job in creating the characters of Ryan and Brooke and showing their love/connection. 

I really don't know what to say about this one! It was cute and short, I loved it!

What I didn't like:

The ending was somewhat abrupt (Though she did post an epilogue that really ties things up!) You get a decent idea of what happens next, but there's still a lot of uncertainty. Other than that, I loved everything!

Would I Recommend this Book to Someone Else?

Yes!
