My Thoughts
I loved Kate! She was introverted and had an innocent vibe, but she wasn't totally naive. Although she lacked some self confidence, I enjoyed her journey as she grew and learned to assert herself.
Her diverse group of friends were also extremely lovable. It was great how they all cared for on another and rallied together when they needed too.
And Reed Harper? OMG! SWOON! He was almost too perfect! I felt like I was constantly looking into those intense blue eyes whenever Kate was. I liked how he acted towards Kate as their friendship slowly began turning into something more. He was so patient and considerate of her!
I was captivated with Melissa Rolka's writing. It easily held my attention for the duration of the book. Her characters were very well developed, and again, very lovable. They were easy to relate to.
If you feel like being distracted for a little while, The Perfect Distraction by Melissa Rolka is definitely the book to get distracted in! I can't wait for the next book in the series to find out what happens next for Kate and Reed!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
