Defying Gravity

This was an awesome teen friends to more story! Zoey, Parker, and Luke have been friends for as long as they can remember. Parker and Luke are brothers and every year they meet up with Zoey when she comes to Aspen for winter break. Parker has been in love with Zoey for a while but never wanted to risk the friendship. It's now or never though. He's noticed she's flirting with his brother Luke and that just won't do. Zoey is definitely crushing on Luke and plans to let him know this winter. That is until she really starts paying attention to Parker and discovering that maybe he's more to her liking than Luke is. Which brother will win the girl? A very fun read and a book I would definitely recommend.

Best friends to more is one of my favorites. Parker and Zoey have been best friends since basically birth but Zoey comes to winter break with her eyes on Luke, Parker's older brother, right at the time when Parker thinks he's ready to confess his feelings for her. I'm not usually a fan of lover triangles and competition for a lady's affection never works out how anyone wants it to but the angst in this book was just enough to keep me from wanting to put the book down. A big part me hated Luke in this book. He knew how his brother felt about Zoey but still planned to pursue her because she seemed interested in him. Bro-code, dude. Seriously. But I'm still looking forward to reading his story to see if he can redeem himself. Throughout the story I couldn't really get why Zoey was interested in Luke and towards the end, she seemed to reach the same conclusion as me but I won't spoil it for anyone else. Parker was my favorite character in this story: laid-back, talented, funny, determined. I need to go back and read Paige and Ben's story and I can't wait to see what happens in Luke's book.
