I am so excited that it's being published in the US because it means I can finally get my hands on a copy which isn't insanely priced (damn Oz shipping is so high!). I have heard so many things about this book so I can't wait to read. It seems like it's one I have to commit to but hopefully the pay off will be worth it in the end.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-90700907583818220292018-06-07T19:14:03.072-04:002018-06-07T19:14:03.072-04:00My co-blogger killed it with the Sloth-tastic desi...My co-blogger killed it with the Sloth-tastic design (it was actually my mother's day gift). I can't wait to get all the images. The female voice was great in Summer Skin, but I am so curious to what was going on in Mitch's head, because he underwent a lot of changes in this book.

I found it an interesting read, because I learned a little about college outside of the US, and I find many overseas are more open about sex and sexuality than Americans are. And UGH! Don't even get me started about Pitch. I miss that show so much.

Eve is obviously one who doesn't back down from a challenge (if she's done what it takes to be on the boy's team) and I like that she's willing to really go after what she wants. And there's obviously more to Jamie than meets the eye.
