First thing's first: I really enjoyed this book! It has the perfect combination of teenage angst, high school drama (we've all been there), subtle humor, love (both familial and otherwise...), and fun characters. As a reader I was particularly taken with Megan, the main character as she tries to come to terms with the 7 boys that become her new housemates (a feat in and of itself since she's an only child) AND at the same time learning to stand up for herself in a completely new high school with new friends, a new team, and a new babe pool. Her growth as a person was part of the reason I loved this book so much; after watching Megan meet the seemingly endless conflicts that arise, it's hard not to cheer her on every step of the way. As Megan tries to get to know and interact with each of the very different brothers, her actions reveal a compassionate character who was fun to follow as she makes an effort to learn even more about the male side of the gender spectrum which, until her residence in the McGowan household, she has practically no experience with. Her 'guide' to the McGowan boys was entertaining and reminds readers of their first encounters with some of her observations. Go on. Read it. You know you want to. (P.S. The outset (i.e. the prologue) may seem a bit shaky at first. Don't let this fool you, it's only a *few* pages and said shakiness subsides in chapter one. My advice? Keep reading.)
