I LOVED this book! This was my first Meghan Quinn book and it did not disappoint. So This is War has to be the funniest book I've read this year. Wylie wants to make a career change and quit graduate school with one year left. Her controlling father isn't having it, and challenges her to become Levi's, one of his players, assistant to prove she is mature enough to do what she wants with her life. He forces Levi to give her crazy tasks to try to bring her down, but actually pushed them into each other's arms. After a chance meeting a year ago, Levi and Wylie begin a fight of control and attraction with one winning out.
Posey was such a good guy, and in my opinion didn't deserve the sh*t his friends gave him for being the fun guy of the group. (I actually hate that in any story. Quit being mean to your friend! And then turn around and miss them when they get distant. Umm quit ragging on them!) He has such a big heart, loving and supporting all his friends, as well as taking care of Wylie even before they get together.
Wylie (interesting name) was such a trooper with a dad like that. Her character arc was thrilling. It felt so good reading her tell her dad off. She had every right to demand respect and love from him and I'm so happy she held her ground. Levi was such a good partner, supporting her through it all and caring for her in a way she never experienced before. I can definitely relate to that, and
The friendship featured in this were so fun and loving and supported (despite what I mentioned above i.e. Posey).
Overall I really enjoyed reading this story, and it has led me to read other MQ books. Sometimes you need a laugh over all the dramatics of typical romances. Also no third act breakup! Always a winner in my book.
