Tia just wants to have fun. She’s worked hard to earn her reputation as the life of the party, and she’s ready for a carefree senior year of hanging out with friends and hooking up with cute boys. And her first order of business? New guy Will. She can’t get enough of his Midwestern accent and laidback swagger.
As the sparks start to fly, Will wants to get serious. Tia’s seen how caring too much has left her sisters heartbroken, and she isn’t interested in commitment. But pushing Will away drives him into the arms of another girl. Tia tells herself it’s no big deal…until the yearbook elections are announced. Getting voted Biggest Flirts with Will is, well, awkward. They may just be friends, but their chemistry is beginning to jeopardize Will’s new relationship—and causing Tia to reconsider her true feelings. What started as a lighthearted fling is about to get very complicated…
In case you guys didn’t know, I love Jennifer Echols. Her contemporary books are some of my all time favorites, right up there with Sarah Dessen’s, Susane Colasanti’s, and Miranda Kenneally’s. I’m really pleased to say that Biggest Flirts is just as amazing as the rest of her works. So cute!
Tia and Will are adorable! Tia is a huge flirt who doesn’t want a relationship, or so she says. She’s seen what relationships have done to her sisters and she wants to avoid that. Will makes that hard for her to do. He makes it clear from the start that he wants a relationship. Tia and Will are both stubborn and the game is on to see which one is going to get their way.
Tia is hard-headed, sarcastic, smart, and funny. She avoids commitment of any kind, as well as responsibility. She’s a little immature but she learns. Will is her opposite in a lot of ways. They share the hard-headedness and sarcasm but that’s it. Will loves commitment and responsibilities, going out of his way to get both. Their opposites are perfect together. They bring out the best in each other. Oh and don’t even get me started on the banter between the two. It’s so perfect.
The plot is a little predictable since it is just a romantic comedy. However, the story and the characters are adorable. I never once lost interest in Tia and Will’s story. In fact, I actually read Biggest Flirts in one sitting. I was hooked from the start.
Overall, Biggest Flirts is a new favorite contemporary of mine. This series holds a lot of promise and I can’t wait to read book two.

I have only read one of her books, Going Too Far, but I did enjoy it! Biggest Flirts sounds like a super cute read. Knowing in advance that it is predictable but still a lot of fun makes me want to give it a try. Great review!
This book sounds so cute!! Can you believe I haven’t read anything by Jennifer Echols yet? Must take care of that ASAP!
Oh my gosh! I adore Jennifer Echols’ books. You have to check one out and let me know what you think!
awwww this seems soo cute!! Tia and Will seem like such cute characters! I’m such a fan of contemporaries and this looks like something i will enjoy! Great review!
Wonderful review! I have this book on my wishlist and it sounds great, I’m definitely going to buy it after reading your thoughts about it!
This sounds like a wonderfully cute must-read contemporary! I’m definitely going to pick this one up. Lovely review, Katie!
Will sounds like the boy next door, or family friend type of guy that’s just a sweetheart. It’s interesting that Echols has made Tia, the female character, the carefree, irresponsible one. Sounds very cute!
Yay! I absolutely loved this one too although I was initially worried because the last Jennifer Echols book I read did not really work for me. But this was so much like her older books and I love the cute, romantic comedy feel it had to it. Tia was certainly hard-headed, but watching Will basically change her was fun. I’m glad you liked this one, Katie.
Lovely review!
I’m pretty sure that Jennifer Echols can do no wrong. I haven’t heard of this one before, but it sounds really good, and it’s obviously on my list now! Great review! 🙂
Glad to hear you enjoyed this one so much! I just read my first Jennifer Echols book (Dirty Little Secret) and really enjoyed it! I’m eager to read more by her! I think I’ll have to continue on with Biggest Flirts! 🙂
Even if I’m not a big fan of contemporaries, this sounds like it’s a lot of fun! I guess I’ll have to check this one out!
I really like Jennifer Echols. One can usually count on her to deliver a fun (but not shallow) contemporary. I can see myself reading this by the pool this summer! Thanks for sharing!
I will have to give this one a try. I really should read some more contemporary books for the summer.
Thanks for the great review!
