Review: Switched by Cassie Mae

From Goodreads: Ever since high school, Kayla has been crazy for gorgeous football player Talon. But before she could muster the courage to tell him, he became a hot item with her beautiful BFF, Reagan. The only person who knows Kayla’s secret is Wesley, Talon’s best bud—and he’s got it bad for Reagan. Now they’re all in college together, hanging out 24/7. For Kayla, seeing the two lovebirds together is absolutely unbearable. So Kayla and Wesley hatch a plot to drive them apart before Talon has a chance to give Reagan the Christmas gift she’s been waiting for.

Soon enough, the once happy couple is fighting. Reagan suddenly can’t get enough of Wesley’s goofy sense of humor, and Talon seems to be paying more attention to Kayla than a guy who’s “only a friend” ever should. But just when everything seems to be falling into place, Kayla and Wesley accidentally spend a night together and discover a hitch in their plan they never considered: that switching partners may not lead to a perfect ending after all.

I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

This book! Ugh! All the feels. So Kayla at first irritated the snot out of me. She is so smitten with Talon, this stereotype of a jock and has been for years, but she can't even talk to him. She doesn't seem to have anything else to her personality for quite some time. She had no balls, no confidence, and never stood up for herself. But... I'll get back to this thought...
Reagan, yeah, I still don;t like her. She is seriously the worst best friend ever. Ever. I don't care about her intentions, she's still the worst. Ever. She was irritating throughout. I'd have ditched her in a heartbeat. In high school.
Talon had a fairly blah personality. He was nice and stuff, but nothing particularly outstanding.
But Wesley was what kept me reading from the beginning. If it wasn't from him, Kayla's annoying obsession with Talon, who was Reagan's boyfriend, would have made me quit. But he made it all interesting.
All that being said... I love this book! Once Kayla finally starts to show non-obsessed character traits, I really liked her and felt for her. I wanted her to deck Reagan most of the time, and wanted to open her eyes and see Wesley. Although I saw the end coming when Talon and Reagan broke up, I still wanted to smack Reagan. But Wesley, yup, he's pretty much the reason everyone should read this book. Once I got into it, it was hard to put down and I was thinking about it when I wasn't reading.
