*****4.5 Stars*****
When Juliet Anderson starts NJU after she decides to follow her best friend Ben when he starts a football scholarship there. Juliet wants more with Ben or so she thinks that's until Ben's roommate Chase makes steps forward and he so happens to be the cute guy she saw at the train station earlier on her way to start her new adventure. Juliet is blaming herself for the murder of her twin sister Justine and her parents haven't shown her any support or love since it happened 4 years ago. Ben has been Juliet's rock even though he doesn't actually know what secrets Juliet hides. Chase is everything Ben isn't, where Ben is safe and the ideal choice, Chase is a risk and sporadic especially when it comes to the secrets of his past and his reasons for being at NJU. So a bit of going to and fro bouncing off each guy how can Juliet decide what or who she wants because eventually someone may get sick of waiting in the shadows!
The author did a great job with this book. Even though we have the main characters all the side characters play a good part too. We get to know everyone that stays in the basement of Sheridan Hall at NJU. The friendship support that they all give each other just flows with love, with everything that goes on the characters are all there for each other without question and I really like that they have that bond. The writing flows and the story is well executed with what seems like little effort from the author. The only tiny negative I have is that I would have liked to have saw Ben less laid back and with a bit more fight in him. I hope to see something from Rocco & Pooja next. I definitely recommend this book.
