This was the first book I ever won through the Goodreads First Reads Program. I was totally psyched to have won it, and even more pysched when I got it and it was a signed copy with a little message from the author. How totally sweet is that to win!?

But then I got nervous, because I'm like, what if this book completely stinks. What if I can't even get through the first couple of pages? Fortunately, it turned out to be good. :)

Courting Sparks is a book about Noah and Daphne, life-long friends. Daphne dated Noah's cousin, Aaron, for ages until their messy break-up. Noah was always there for Daphne, but he always wanted something more from her too. Daphne wasn't having any of that and fought him, or rather herself on it. The book is a journey of how they find their way from best friends to possibly something more.

Along the way there are weddings, bachelorette and bachelor parties, and an arsonist on the loose that needs to be caught. Of course, Daphne seems to be always a bridesmaid never a bride. :)

It's a fun read, pretty simple and straight forward. Just like I like, nothing was drawn out and it never got boring. I liked that it was clean, that it showed both character's points of view, and that their emotions/thoughts were pretty realistic. It was also funny, the conversations amongst the girls in this book, the situations (which were well thought out), and the wedding mishaps. The outside characters were fun as well!

Of course Noah was very likable...or shall I say YUMMY?! :)

I'm really happy to have gotten this book, and I thank the author, Joselyn Vaughn. I'm going to have to check out her other book! ( )
