Seventeen-year-old Willow and her mom move back to Georgia from Las Vegas.  Willow, like her mother, is a hypnotist.  Right before Willow departed from Georgia to Las Vegas, she hypnotized Max, her best friend into believing that they would be best friends forever.  While she is in Las Vegas, Willow realizes that her feelings for Max have grown into more than just friends. When she goes back to Georgia, expecting to start a relationship with Max, she finds out that he has a girlfriend.  Will Willow and Max ever find each other?

The author creates a real-life drama amongst the teens.  Readers will be able to relate to the “feeling something more for your best friend” relationship.  Although the plot was entertaining and engaging, the story’s ending lacked imagination; very unrealistic even with the hypnotist story-line.  Fans of Jabaley’s Lipstick Apology will not be disappointed with her witty writing style and creative plot.
