Okay, FAST. - Basically you have Robin who has a thing for Kent (the boy next door). Good News!

Make Robin jealous with the popular and oh-so slutty, Ashley. How can that plan fail? Well, for starters Robin is not the only one jealous by Kent and Ashley's new-found friendship.
Enter the hot younger brother, Patrick. By the end you have one very happy couple and one not so happy couple. Yikes!
I love Patrick!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to start a review
off that way, but Fast by Ryan
Ringbloom is by far one of the most relatable books I’ve read in a while. I
haven’t loved characters this much in way too long. First, I adore Ringbloom’s
writing style. The book is split into two parts. In the first part we get the
story from Robin and Ashley’s point of view and the second part is told from
Kent and Patrick’s point of view.
I really liked that we got to see what the girls were
thinking and how they were feeling. It was nice to see that even while they
feign certain things to other people in the book, the reader always knows what’s
going through their head. Plus it was awesome to see how they changed and grew
over the course of the book. It was perfection.
While I loved all four main characters in the book, I’ve got
to say that my heart went out most to Ashley. I think at one point or another
everyone feels like they aren’t enough or feel unloved and damaged even.
Everything that happens in this book just goes to show you how even people who
think they’re broken beyond repair just need someone who can encourage and believe
in them.
I also really loved Patrick and his and Kent’s family.
Seriously, there is so much I love about this book that it’s sick. The
interactions between the characters give me so much joy especially the
bickering and the snarking and yelling and just everything. I literally want to
draw pink fluffy hearts around this story.
Oh, and there is a wonderfully adorable twist I didn’t see
coming that starts in the second part of the book and words cannot even
describe how much I love the twist. Basically I love the whole thing. Great
plot, well written and relatable characters. There isn’t much more I can ask
for in a book. I’m heading off to start the second book in this series and I desperately
hope we’ll see some character from the first book in the next. I highly
recommend this book to any and every one.
Read and love it as much as I do!
