On The Fence by Kasie West

Picture
I. Loved. This. Book. It was so cute and I loved the plot line. On The Fence is fun, adorable, lovable, and uh, I can't even describe it! I went into this to clear my book mourning over Heir of Fire, so naturally I had kind of low standards, how could it live up to Heir of Fire?? But I ended up loving this book anyway. I'm defiantly planning on reading more from Kasie West, because I was  defiantly impressed with this book. I'm going to give On The Fence a 9/10 stars, yeah, it was that good. It's defiantly a good book to read in a mourning period, I highly recommend it. I didn't take enough notes to write a discussion, but I seriously want you to go read this book, like now.
Here's the synopsis:
For sixteen-year-old Charlotte Reynolds, aka Charlie, being raised by a single dad and three older brothers has its perks. She can outrun, outscore, and outwit every boy she knows—including her longtime neighbor and honorary fourth brother, Braden. But when it comes to being a girl, Charlie doesn't know the first thing about anything. So when she starts working at chichi boutique to pay off a speeding ticket, she finds herself in a strange new world of makeup, lacy skirts, and BeDazzlers. Even stranger, she's spending time with a boy who has never seen her tear it up in a pickup game.

To cope with the stress of faking her way through this new reality, Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with Braden by the fence that separates them. But their Fence Chats can't solve Charlie's biggest problem: she's falling for Braden. Hard. She knows what it means to go for the win, but if spilling her secret means losing him for good, the stakes just got too high

The characters in this story are great and I really enjoyed their relationships. As many of you probably know, I've always wanted an older brother, so reading this story was perfect for me. The protective older brothers are one of my favorite things to read about, and write about, haha. The storyline was great and it was so much fun watching Charlie struggle with her feelings. That sounds kinda wrong... Whatever, just go read this book, you won't regret it ;)
