Mason, Cam, and Brady make their way over to find out what has happened and Mason immediately recognizes the man - It is Noah Riley, their football captain at Avix University where the three boys have all made the football team and will be playing in the new season. Chase steps up behind her and begins acting possessive. When she looks up she is unable to speak because all she sees is a good-looking man who she does not even realize, is checking to see if she is okay. One day they all go to the beach and low and behold, while Chase is refusing to acknowledge Arianna, a VERY HOT young man is playing beach football when he misses a pass that goes awry and hits Arianna in the head.

So, while Chase is trying to ignore Arianna they are all continuing to go on group outings. One night Arianna crosses a line with Chase (she kissed him) to test the attraction and she became hard for him to ignore. Although Arianna 'loves' Chase, Mason has insisted that his best friends are to have NOTHING to do with his 'baby sister'. The boys are very protective of them and have been forever. Arianna and Cam are vivacious, flirtatious, and love life. The five of them were given a beach home along the California coastline and this is where they are vacationing together before starting their freshmen year. Her name is Arianna and her childhood love is Chase her twin is Mason, her best friend is Camryn, and her brother's other bestie is Brady. We are introduced to one of our main characters and learn that she has loved one of her twin's best friends since they were children (12).

I am crying as I write this review, so let's get to it! **SPOILER ALERT** The story begins following five teens who have been lifelong friends and are enjoying the summer between the end of senior year and the beginning of college. Oh my! What a ride this story was! I just have to start by saying this is my favorite story of all time! It has definitely made it to the top of the 'Read Again' list and I just can't wait to do it again.
