Review from my book blog,Bookish-Escape.
I finished this in around 3 hours because I wanted to finish and return it before school's out for the day, but I guess I read too fast, I ended up with nothing to do for a few hours. I really should've stayed home.
I don't know if it was my reading speed or what, I think it's a light and fast paced book, and not exactly what I would call a fun book. Maybe because me and Chloe are having a same problem, much less dramatic but still reall...more

Where I liked her Dead Is set of books, I was very disappointed with this book. I will not put it on my shelves since it is not appropriate for 8th grade. Besides, the author seems stuck on everyone in the book being attractive and finding the most attractive boys. Shallow reading.
This book was soo descriptive and had a lot of detail. This book was super funny also. and it was the perfect combo for me of romance and comedy and just life.

I wanna read this book sooooooooooooooo much....
This book is so sweet
A love triangle with the steamy world of billiards as the backdrop. I dig the Laguna Beach setting, the banter, Chloe's observations on life, the trials of friendship and the ties to The Hustler. Is it a coincidence that the cutest, coolest guy in the book is named Theo? I think not ...
Typical light and breezy teen romance about a girl who plays pool, meets a hot guy who is a user although she does know he's also seeing her supposed best friend.... she ends up with the guy who has been her loyal friend and realizes her best friend really wasn't.
ehhh.... main charcter was a little too undecided and too much of a pushover for my liking
This book was really good. It had a twist on the usual.
This was so bad I had to finish reading it.
LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG I love this book
