Drew: Book One of the Perfectly Independent Series by Amanda Shelley – Review by Wendy Wary

Drew by Amanda Shelley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a cute and saucy story about two people who unexpectedly fall for each other in the sweetest way possible. From lab partners to friends, neither Drew nor Abby are up for the distraction a relationship would bring as they finish out their senior year of college, both with the ambition to get into med school. He’s also a star athlete on the college basketball team, and holds onto his rule of not dating during the season.

Both are driven to ace their chemistry class, which makes their study time together important to both of them, and the mutual respect they hold grows into friendship. Both seem to be caught unaware that their friendship has blossomed into anything more, despite it becoming obvious to their friends and family. But, they’re waiting to see what medical school programs will actually accept them, which could split them apart if they end up on opposite sides of the country after graduation. Is it worth the risk? Between busy study, work, and practice schedules, they try to find a balance as they discover their deeper feelings for one another.

I really enjoyed reading this book and particularly loved how wholesome the characters were without it feeling unrealistic. Totally satisfied my sweet tooth for romance with some sizzle.
