Synopsis

Years before Trip Wiley could be seen on movie screens all over the world, he could be seen sitting in the desk behind me in my high school English class.

This was back in 1990, and I cite the year only to avoid dumbfounding you when references to big hair or stretch pants are mentioned. Although, come to think of it, I am from New Jersey, which may serve as explanation enough. We were teenagers then, way back in a time before anyone could even dream he’d turn into the Hollywood commodity that he is today.

In case you live under a rock and don’t know who Trip Wiley is, just know that these days, he’s the actor found at the top of every casting director’s wish list. He’s incredibly talented and insanely gorgeous, the combination of which has made him very rich, very famous and very desirable.

And not just to casting directors, either.

I can’t confirm any of the gossip from his early years out in Tinseltown, but based on what I knew of his life before he was famous, I can tell you that the idea of Girls-Throwing-Themselves-At-Trip is not a new concept.

I should know. I was one of them.

And my life hasn’t been the same since.

Review

I can’t believe that this book really affected me that much that I got so engrossed reading it I almost finish it in one sitting. I just forced myself to stop because I have to work the next day. LOL!

It’s really good and I’m thankful for the ARC provided. Ahhh, the perks of being a blogger.

Well anyways, the setting of this book is in the early 90s, when kids were not yet that engrossed with Internet and other technologies and literally have outdoor activity.

This details the teenage years of Trip Wiley and Layla Warren before things got complicated.

This book was narrated by Layla. Though I was born in 1989, I still can’t connect with the detailed description of the 90’s kids. 😀 So to give you some vivid detail, here’s a pic:

Trip Wiley was the new kid on the block. He was well-traveled. He’s gorgeous and everyone was curious about him. But he’s eyes were already set on Layla even though she doesn’t know it. They became friends and had been inseparable ever since. He maybe appear confident but when it comes to Layla, he becomes tongue-tied and unsure of himself.

Then there’s Layla. The joker. She’s popular and everybody likes her, though she seems clueless. She fell hard for Trip but then high school graduation came. She wants focus and Trip will just make her mind coincide with her plans. But deep inside, she’s just unsure of herself and of how Trip will accept if she let’s her feelings out.

So yeah, you already have an idea how this story will end. They went and chase after their dreams. Will they be able to find their passions? Will they succeed? How will Layla react if she saw Trip Wiley again as an A-List Actor?

P.S. And just so you know, this book also contains some hot and steamy scenes that’ll make you swoon over Trip. I so love him! I can’t wait to read their happy-ever-after.

Rating: 4/5
