As vice president of Student Council, Kaye knows the importance of keeping order. Not only in school, but in her personal life. Which is why she and her boyfriend, Aidan, already have their lives mapped out: attend Columbia University together, pursue banking careers, and eventually get married. Everything Kaye has accomplished in high school—student government, cheerleading, stellar grades—has been in preparation for that future.
To his entire class, Sawyer is an irreverent bad boy. His antics on the field as school mascot and his love of partying have earned him total slacker status. But while he and Kaye appear to be opposites on every level, fate—and their friends—keep conspiring to throw them together. Perhaps the seniors see the simmering attraction Kaye and Sawyer are unwilling to acknowledge to themselves…
As the year unfolds, Kaye begins to realize her ideal life is not what she thought. And Sawyer decides it’s finally time to let down the facade and show everyone who he really is. Is a relationship between them most likely to succeed—or will it be their favorite mistake?
First Line: " I left calculus a minute before the bell so I'd be the first to arrive at the student council meeting."
Review: It's so hard when a series you really enjoyed has come to its end. I really enjoyed the Superlatives series and am so happy that Echols finally gave us Sawyer's story it was everything I wanted.
I was a little weary when I saw he was paired up with Kaye who is a bit judgy and quick to come to assumptions but getting to know all the pressure that was put on her by her insane mother I get it and you got to see her character grow throughout the novel. You also see her deal with the drama of her boyfriend Aiden who is a total ass, I don't get how this girl stood around and let him treat her the way he did and how she was so blind to Sawyer and how into her he was since well forever.
Sawyer was everything I imagined him to be plus so much more. Unlike Kaye, Sawyer comes from a pretty bad situation, he knows what it's like to struggle in life. In the previous books Sawyer is pictured as a flirt but secretly he has liked Kaye for two years and everyone but Kaye sees it. If you want to talk about total opposites Sawyer and Kaye are it and like opposites they balanced each other out, so yes they were actually perfect for each other. Both characters were flawed and brilliantly written.
Overall the series as a whole is great. If you are looking for a quick sweet romance check out this book and all the others in the series. Although I can tell you right now Sawyer's story is the one you will be craving from the very beginning.
