Synopsis: 

There are no mulligans in love.

Drew's life just got a whole lot harder. Her relationships are falling apart, her little sister is failing math, and her parents are leaving for Florida to take care of Grandpa. Now not only does she have to play surrogate parent, study to graduate from her last semester of college, and deal with the looming threat of full-on adulthood, she has to do it all while running the family's mini-golf course by herself. Even the upbeat Drew is starting to feel like she just drove her ball down the unfairway.

Her luck takes a turn when she meets Weston, the snarky geometry teacher. He's smart, capable, dependable, and handsome—a real hole in one. But even Weston has a few hazards of his own. Now Drew will have to decide whether his secret is the wedge that drives them apart, or pushes them together.

                                              Review by S. Donahue 

 

I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Whenever I read a book, I always look for the lesson or message that is interpreted. With this book I think the message is communication is key.

OMG. ..  I absolutely loved this book. Once I picked up this fast paced novel, I couldn’t put it down. I also didn’t want it to end.

This was a fun witty book that had me laughing, crying and wishing for a happy ending.  This book was well thought out and put together beautifully. The author did an amazing job portraying her thoughts. The characters are very strong and likeable. I was able to feel what they were feeling. This is a good thing when reading because I think the most important element is to be able to connect with the characters in a book.  

This story surrounds a college student named Drew who takes on many responsibilities to help out her parents during a time of crisis.  She tries to bond with her much younger sister but has a difficult time. When she tries to step in, she gets an unexpected turn of events.  In comes her sister’s gorgeous teacher, Weston. Can he be any dreamier? He’s smart, sexy and irresistible.  Drew just can’t shake the feeling that something’s not right but goes against her instincts. She later finds out information that makes her second guess everything and sends her into desolation. Can she overcome the roadblocks that are thrown at her? Can she come out strong? Can she get her happily ever after?  You definitely need to read this book to find out. You don’t know what you are missing. This is the kind of romance novel that I love to read. This book has the perfect amount of everything. Crystal did a phenomenal job. I can’t wait to read more books from this author.  Check it out.. you don’t know what you're missing. Definitely worth 5 stars!!!
