Book Description:
I have a history of picking the wrong guy. Gay? Player? Momma’s boy? Check, check and check.

Now I can’t stop fantasizing about one of the customers at the coffee shop I work at between classes. It’s just a harmless crush, right? It’s not like I ever see this guy outside of the coffee shop. It’s not like I’m going to see him while attempting to get birth control at the student clinic. While wearing a paper gown. While sitting on an exam table. Because he’s the doctor. Shoot. Me.

But what if, for once, the man I’ve had the dirtiest, most scandalous fantasies about turned out to be everything but wrong?

Setting: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the 21st century
Point of View: 1st person- Sophie Tisdale

Part of the Book that Caught My Attention: Both

View on the Cover: The man looks very handsome and intriguing. Why is only half of him shown?
View on Title: What is wrong? Why is it wrong? Does the wrong thing happen?

Pros:

• The main characters are fairly well-rounded.
• Sophie Tisdale is a student who works at a coffee shop and is a corporate accounting major at the University of Pennsylvania. She does not want to burden her grandparents with an unplanned pregnancy since she was a product of one. Little is said about her mother and her father is unknown. It makes the reader wonder what happened to both parents. I love Sophie's sassy attitude and her drive for life.
• Luke Miller seems to be very put together and extremely intelligent. He is very confident and is not at all what the reader would think he is. He is very mysterious and attractive, which Sophie likes. I love how controlling but protective Luke can be sometimes. He reminded me a little bit like Christian Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey.
• The name of the coffee shop, Grind Me, is really funny to me because it's foreshadowing and a clever way to call a coffee shop.
• The irony of the entire situation is really funny to me. Sophie thinks that Luke is out of her league partly because she's a student, but he turns out to be a volunteer gynecologist for the college students. I know it sounds a little creepy, but Luke really means well.
• It really hones in on the issue of teenage/college unplanned pregnancies and how it can really change a woman's future. It deeply encourages birth control of different types, the pill, condom, and even abstinence. I love how Sophie is always so worried about the effects of being intimate and tries to be diligent (for the most part) not to become pregnant.

Cons:

• The entire situation seems a little bit too coincidental that it does not seem realistic. On the other hand, my life seemed too coincidental but I still got my happy ending. Maybe these things happen by chance.
• Some of the characters were underdeveloped, such as Sophie's coworker Everly and Sophie's roommate Jean. I soon found out that there is a companion novel for Everly called Right.
• The only thing I really wished for was Luke's point of view. His point of view is seen in the epilogue.
