@UofJ411: What’s happening here? #TheyDoSayOppositesAttract #WhereAreAllThePost-its

On a scale of one to 10, Quinn Thompson is a 15.

Gorgeous. Fiery. A cheerleader so far out of my league, it’s embarrassing that I even fantasize about her.

I need to find a way to shut down the dirty thoughts she inspires, before it’s too late. If I don’t, this whole new life of mine is at risk.

Easier said than done, when temptation lives right down the hall.

For such a smart guy, C.K. can be surprisingly clueless.

Sweet. Shy. The star of all my naughty nerd fantasies, but utterly blind to my flirtations.

Giving in to his plea to be his love coach may seem drastic, but I’m desperate for the chance to come off the bench.

Too bad the friend zone was a hell of a lot safer for my heart.

Love!!!

Oh my gosh!!! I absolutely loved having this book on audio! The story is fantastic I love the characters. Having my dirty talking nerd in my ears was just icing on the cake!

Great Addition

What a great addition to the U of J series. Loved the narration. It brought the characters to life and made me fall in love with CK and Q more.

I loved the flip on this usual jock and shy nerd girl trope. Q was the perfect match to CK. They both had insecurities they had to work through and once they did, fireworks central people. Did they drive me crazy at times? Absolutely. Did I love them more for it? He’ll yeah. Give this one a listen and fall in love with their story and these wonderful characters like I did.

Fantastic narration and perfect friends to lovers

Loved this book — I love the crushes both Quinn and CK had on each other and loved seeing their relationship blossom as Quinn got CK to open up.

Love this series!

I completely recommend listening to this series it has never disappointed me. Always good for a laugh.

OMG! I seriously loved this book! CK is the perfect hot nerd who has zero clue about his appeal. Quinn is such a beautiful person inside and out & she is bound and determined to pull CK out of his shell and help him see how amazing he really is. I absolutely loved the journey these two have taken together in this book. There is a lot of growth for both, but the biggest change is definitely seen in CK.

Like with all of Alley Ciz's books, this will take you on such an entertaining ride, I laughed so hard at points & defiantly wanted to strangle these characters at times because they really needed to OPEN THEIR EYES! Alley Ciz always creates such amazing & relatable characters and these two are no exception. I cannot wait to see what couple we get next, I definitely have my fingers crossed for a certain pair.

If you love hot nerds, who have no clue that they are, and fiery cheerleaders with the biggest hearts, then this is definitely the book for you!

The audiobook narrators do an amazing job bringing the story to life.

Hot Nerd for the Win!

CK is the prime example of why they say you have watch out for the quiet nerdy types. That man had some bark and bite to him. Holy mother of everything that is dirty, I was not ready for CK. He left me straight up salivating at the deliciously filthy things he said and in the ways he backed it up. He and Quinn’s story is a lesson is delayed gratification because boy oh boy did these two take you through! You ever just want to grab two people and throw them in a room together and force them to out of denial? Well, even that didn’t work for CK and Quinn, these two were utterly and adorable clueless to each other’s feelings! But, I loved every second of them denying and then finally giving in! It made for one hilariously entertaining read! Connor Crais, Ava Erickson and Lola James were audio gold!

Hail the gangs all here.

1 of the things i'd like is that i get to see all the characters that were in the first three books. This is a standalone though so don't worry. These 2 characters that wou didn't see a lot of them in the 1st 3 books. You certainly got to know i'm in This one. These two were an interesting pair. They both were very insecure from different reasons. One. He was very bullied so his inspirity came from being bullied. Where her insecurity came from really her parents or her mother I should say. And other people who constantly told her her looks would get her everywhere on not her brains. Either way it was a great story. Now the narrators I have to say I love connor playing this nerd because he did a great job.. Now let's not forget the female narrator I think this is the first book i've ever heard her do. I have to say that I was so into the story that she had to do an incredible job cause I got lost in it. Both narrators did an incredible job as I was able to get lost in the story.

Confusing

I think you absolutely should listen to the previous books in order to understand this book. I love the “opposites attracts” theme and Connor Crais, but this book is sooo confusing.
