Now, this book is far from perfect. I kind of wanted an imperfect book, one just for the fun and giggles. It's not just words typed randomly either. It's fun. I think that it is worth a read.

Now, as part of the trope it's an older brother's bestfriend book. The main character is younger than the love interest by a year. The guy has known Daisy since she was younger so they grew up together but apart at the same time. I'm a person who hates books with age gaps where the male interest treats her like a kid and I would like to say that, no, that will not be found in my book. It is quickly realized (by the reader) that the main love interest doesn't view her in that way.

The main character is also seen as innocent but do understand that she will not be walked all over. I hate books where they make the chatcter so innocent to the point where she is being sexually assaulted and she doesn't even realize it. Daisy is innocent in the sense that she is new to all of this. She is new to the feelings, dating, boys, etc. She doesn't curse, but no, she will not be using other words for it either. I just think it should be mentioned here for some reason.

This is going to be lighthearted book and I intend for it to stay that way but also evolve as we go on. It's a one person point of view but I would like to say that the male interest has his own point of views once in a while (not too many so...)

Anyway, here's an excerpt:

"Who has gathered the attention of our little Daisy?"

It's times like this that I wished I was older than my brother. It's times like this that I wished that I was taller because as I stand a full head shorter than him, I feel small. Our little Daisy makes me want to disown myself. I wanted him to see me as someone bigger, someone worth his attention but I'm not.

I shake my head and look away from him. "Who is it?", he asks and I look up at him, my anger level rising.

"What's it to you?", I ask him in a higher leveled voice and it shocks him evidently as he takes a step back. He looks down at me with a frown and says, "I'm sorry, I was just wanting to know who you liked."

I study him. Does he know that I like him? Is that why he keeps asking me? But the look in his eyes doesn't give any indication of him thinking I liked him as his face was impassive.

The revelation that the guy I have a crush on doesn't like you should make me sad but it doesn't. Instead an idea forms in my head. I needed to take a liking to another person and my feelings for the one who couldn't possibly like me will subside. I was a genius.

"Okay", I say to him and he looks down at me with a deeper frown. I stand up taller and bring a sweater-clad arm up to my face and attempt to feign shyness when I say, "There's someone in my grade."

Max's eyes flash of something really quickly before he too stands up straighter and crosses his arms across his chest. "You were searching on ways to get rid of the crush, does he not like you?", Max asks his voice taking on a serious tome that could only mean that he was being protective. I hated the fact that he acted like another older brother for me.

This is from chapter 3 so if you are interested, read on.....
