Rising
star Cassie Mae introduces New Adult readers to a practical soon-to-be college
freshman who seems to have everything—until a special guy shows her
what she’s been missing.
In the wealthy town of Sundale, Kelli Pinkins has hatched the perfect plan to capitalize on her sweet reputation. For a generous fee, she will be every trust-fund baby’s dream: a Friday-night alibi, the “girlfriend” or “BFF” that parents dream about. With college approaching in the fall, Kelli’s services are in demand more than ever, which means that her social life is nonexistent. But Kelli is A-okay with that. She’s raking in cash for school. Besides, relationships are tricky, and sometimes very messy. She’d rather be at home on Xbox LIVE, anyway. Then the unexpected happens: She meets college stud Chase Maroney.
Chase isn’t like the preppy, privileged guys Kelli usually meets in Sundale. For starters, he’s twentysomething, always wears black, and he shoots back one-liners as fast as she can dish them out. But Kelli’s attempts to drive Chase away falter when she realizes that he treats her like he reallyknows her, like he cares about knowing her. When Kelli finally gives in to the delicious kiss she’s been fighting for so long, she faces a tough decision: make Chase a real-life boyfriend and risk her heart . . . or keep her clients and lose her first true love.

Review:
This
book made me laugh more than anything in a long, long time. It's full of hearty laughter, quick wit and sweet, subtle romance. I loved the banter
between these two characters, and I was completely drawn in by them and their
competition. Their crazy antics, one liners, and pranks had me physically
laughing out loud and my husband a little concerned about my sanity. Once you
read it you will completely understand though.
While
this is a New Adult Romance, it is a pretty clean one. It’s not based on sex
although there are some serious make
out sessions. It brought me back to a simpler time in life, where relationships
were more innocent but still complicated.
I
really loved the angle of this book. Kelli is a hilarious character with some
major insecurities, but her role as the
alibi was an interesting aspect. The story was packed with humor and
awkward situations balanced with swoon-worthy intensity and serious, thought
provoking issues.
Once
you pick this one up you won’t want to put it down until you reach the end.
Between a chewing gum haircut and a body waxing, you’ll be clutching your gut
and gasping for breath while falling for the mysterious boy in black and dying
for more.
Advance praise for Friday
Night Alibi
