A Four Letter Word by Michelle Lee


Synopsis


Zoey has had a crush on Evan since they first met in high school, but has never acted on those feelings. She has always felt she wasn’t Evan’s type and their friendship means too much to her to jeopardize. At a Halloween party, Zoey meets Griffin, something Evan isn’t too happy about. 
 
Zoey and Griffin’s budding relationship grows into something Zoey never thought she would find, that four letter word, love. When she is ready to marry Griffin, Evan decides to let his true feelings be known. Ultimately, Zoey has to decide, marry the one the currently loves, or be with the one she’s always loved.

Excerpt



There is chit-chat all around us. People talking about what they did over the summer, what classes they have. My attention is suddenly drawn to the door, as if I had no choice but to look, and when I do, I see the most beautiful boy I have ever seen in my entire life.
His looks rival that of any movie star. His hair is a mess on top of his head, it’s nearly jet black, with purplish highlights shining in the fluorescent lights; it slightly hangs in his eyes.

It looks super soft and I just want to run my fingers through it to find out. His jeans hit low on his hips, and the gray t-shirt he's wearing hugs his torso, showing off his lean, muscular form. His eyes scan the room, and he nods to someone off to the right, making his way towards them. Never seeing me. My heart is racing. 

"Erica, who is that?" I nod to the beautiful boy as he makes his way to his seat.

"Oh, that? That's Evan 'the jerk' Harris." She doesn't hide the disdain in her voice.
 
"The jerk?"
"Well, that's what I've heard.
 
I've never met him, but from what I've heard, he's a piece of work."
Too bad.

What I Think


I read this book in a day, at first i was like what is going on is it a guys POV and are they really young but then you find out pretty quick that no its a females POV and they are in their twenty's doing last minute costume shopping for Halloween.

Well the story follows Zoey, Ashlee (Zoey best girl friend), Evan (Zoey best guy friend), Griffin (guy Zoey met at the Halloween party) and a couple of others. this book had me laughing out loud so hard my family was looking at me like i was crazy. all the way i was hoping that Zoey would just tell Evan that she had loved him since the first moment she saw him, but as you find out she doesn't and she finds herself falling for Griffin who is totally in love with her.

You find out that Evan doesn't like Griffin even though he is the nicest,caring and generally awesome guy (what everyone wants in a boyfriend) but at the end of the book there is a twist you don't see coming or do you....
