Blog Tour: The Arrangement by Ariya Cox

Grey and Paige have known each other their entire lives. They grew up together. He was the football star and most popular guy in school. She was the smartest girl but not very popular at all. They were rivals to the bitter end. Always arguing and him really getting under her skin. Now their best friends are dating each other and they begin to spend more time together. Until she gets her heart broken and knows the best thing to do is avoid Grey at all cost. However the time has come for her to go back home for the summer. She is in between jobs and he is in the off-season. Again with their best friends still a couple they are thrown together a lot. After all when your best friends are getting married and you are going to be around each other for the summer why not strike a deal to be each other’s secret hook up. They just never expected their secret time together and agreed to not catch feelings for the feeling to begin to creep in a takeover. Paige is clueless of what to do when those feelings keep surfacing. After all she is still carrying some serious baggage from their time in high school. Will this ever work out or will they leave it there after the summer and never see what could have been?
I have to say that I was a little disappointed that we only got Paige’s point of view for the entire book. I really would have loved to have gotten Grey’s point of view too. I really wanted to know what was going on in his head. It is also told in alternating timelines of the present and the last two years of high school. I also got a little frustrated at Paige. I mean come on. The guy got under your skin so bad in the past and you never ever thought to think this guy has a thing for me? Does she not remember a time when guys are horrible to you but really just want your attention and to be the love of your life. It’s a cute book. I didn’t not like it at all. I really liked it but again I so would have loved to have had Grey’s point of view.
