Just One of the Guys

This book is so hilarious that it literally made my stomach ached and also heart warming at the same time that made my heart hurt. It's actually the first time that I’m making a review at whatever I read. I finished reading this book three days ago and by now, I already read two books of Rachel Gibson and yet at night I still remember Chas and Trevor’s story before I sleep. I can't help it, not because I'm currently single so I have nothing better to think during this short sembreak but because their characters marked something on me.
Chastity is not your gorgeous perfect B or C-cup nor she is petite and cute. Well she's practically 5'11 and 3 quarters. She's not perfect which is why you can't stop loving her. She’s so unpretentious, so strong and yet you can’t help but feel how vulnerable she is. The moment she said ‘I love him since I was 10' I knew I would also love her character until the end too. Whenever she had her hopes up and crushed, I also cry with her.
Trevor is hot and also cute whenever he makes excuses just to be close to her. Secretly protecting her. I was quite mad at him at first for making her wait so long but I can’t blame him since he loves her so much, enough to let himself feel miserable for not having her. Afraid that he will lose her at the end.
I read the scene where Trevor finally gave in again and again until I felt immune on it and stopped crying. I’ve read so many happy endings already but this one really left a big impression on me.

“I've loved you my whole life, Chas, from that first day you took me home after Michelle died. And I'm terrified you'll leave me or you'll stop loving me or even worse, something will happen to you. But I can't be without you anymore." He takes my hands, which are shaking wildly, and swallows.
"Today I watched Mike give away the woman he loves. I can't do that, Chas. I thought I could, I thought it would be better if you were with someone else, but I was wrong. And I swear to you, I will love you the rest of my life and nothing will ever come before you. Please, Chastity. Forgive me and marry me and have a bunch of babies with me, and I'll-”

“So you can’t marry Harry, Mom! Not if you still love Daddy!” I sound like a ten-year-old, but I can’t help it. Buttercup comes over to me and puts her head on my lap.
“Love gets used up, Chastity,” Mom says gently, reaching up to smooth my hair. “If it’s not returned, it gets used up.”

“Where's your fiancé?" Trevor asks casually. I stiffen slightly, and Trevor steps back a little. "Well," I breathe. "Um, we sort of broke up."
Trevor's eyes widen a fraction, an eyebrow raising in surprise. He stops dancing, but none of the other couples seem to notice, too caught up in being in love. "Why?" Trevor whispers, still holding my hand, his arm still around me.
My hearts thumps harder, slower, each beat waiting for my answer as I stare into Trevor's eyes. I open my mouth to give some answer, some casual it-didn't-work-out kind of thing. But instead, I hear myself say something else entirely.
"Because he wasn't you.”
