He was tall, at least six feet, with dirty blond hair that hung over his eyes. His T-shirt read Nietzsche Is My Homeboy.
So, that was Matt. Who Julie Seagle likes. A lot. But there is also Finn. Who she flat out loves.
Complicated? Awkward? Completely.
But really, how was this freshly-minted Boston transplant and newbie college freshman supposed to know that she would end up living with the … that she would end up living with the family of an old friend of her mother’s? This was all supposed to be temporary. Julie wasn’t supposed to be important to the Watkins family, or to fall in love with one of the brothers. Especially the one she’s never quite met. But what does that really matter? Finn gets her, like no one ever has before. They have connection.
But here’s the thing about love, in all its twisty, bumpy permutations — it always throws you a few curves. And no one ever escapes unscathed.
New York Times best-selling author Jessica Park mines the territory of love’s growing pains with wit, sharp insights, and a discernible heat and heartbeat.

What a story! Nothing I expected, but still a great read! Loved Finn, but was strangely attracted to Matt. This book was so great! Its very sensitive and coming of age (as Julie has mentioned). What I thought was… Kinda close. But not there! So riveting! 🙂
Loved this book!
This book is definitely one of my top 5 favorite books. I loved the dynamic of each character and their developing relationships…good and bad. This author took a chance at showing how fragile a family can become and how one person could change the head of demons into the face of tangible sorrow and ultimate forgiveness. A simply beautiful story!
5 STARS!!
I read this book nearly three years ago and it’s a book that I still think about. Funny, poignant, and romantic with a great twist. I went on to read Flat-Out Matt and Flat-Out Celeste soon after and enjoyed them, as well. It fits within the NA genre, but unique when compared to many other NA options. Definitely, a book I will be …
