More than Friends by Monica Murphy
Release Date: November 14th, 2016
Genre: Young Adult Romance
Synopsis:
He’s not perfect, but he’s all I want…
I’m your average girl at your average high school, trying to figure out my place in life. After catching my now ex-boyfriend messing around with my now ex-best friend, I’ve made some big changes. No more band, no more backstabbing friends and no more boring old life. Now I have new friends, a new job and new interests.
But there’s a certain someone who’s interested in me, and I don’t get it. Jordan Tuttle could have anyone he wants. He’s the most popular boy in school. Rich, gorgeous, smart and the star quarterback, he’s perfect. Yet he acts like he wants no one else but…me.
So despite my fears and doubt, I let him get close. Probably too close. I discover that he’s not so perfect after all, but it doesn’t matter. I’m falling for him, even though he runs so hot and cold. I know someday he’s going to break my heart.
And I’m going to let him.

Monica Murphy – you are killing me here!! KILLING ME!!! But I freaking love you for it. Sort of. LOL Gah!
I am so damn stressed out right now after reading this. Yes, this book does end in a cliffhanger and it’s a cliffhanger of epic proportions. SO, if you don’t like cliffies, don’t read this til the next book comes out.
This book was amazing, even with the cliffhanger. I am one who doesn’t get real upset when books end like this. I do hate having to wait, but part of that excitement is the wait to see what happens next.
We met Amanda and Jordan (Tuttle) in Just Friends. You don’t need to read that book to really understand their story. BUT, I do recommend reading it to know all about the other characters in this book.
Amanda is a very strong young woman. She’s already had her trust betrayed by two people she trusted implicitly. And that’s only made her stronger in the end. But she loves pleasing people and sometimes has a problem saying no and possibly letting friends down. And people take advantage of her sweetness at times.
Jordan aka Tuttle, is the schools quarterback and has the reputation of being a ladies man. He doesn’t do relationships and has never been with one girl more than one time. He’s extremely smart so he’s not the typical jock stereotype. But he keeps himself very closed to everyone. He refuses to give people more than what’s on the surface.
So when he starts approaching Amanda, her warning bells go off and she’s very smart in trusting in her instincts. These two go back and forth a lot, with everything. Tuttle is very persistent in his pursuit of Amanda. But Amanda isn’t one to easily hand out her trust to anyone. And when Tuttle isn’t willing to open to anyone, things become very conflicted for these two.
I loved how Monica has written this book. There is so much going and so much more to these two characters. I can see why Monica had to end this book the way she did. And hell, do I need the next book like yesterday. I need to know what happens next.
Be prepared to fall into this high school world and never want to leave.
