Easy by Tammara Webber


Easy by Tammara Webber follows the story of student Jacqueline who has followed her long term boyfriend to college.  Jacqueline is devastated when he breaks up with she misses two weeks of classes and is mortified to find herself failing economics.  On top of this she is getting the much unwanted attention from her ex-boyfriend’s frat brother.  Begging for another chance her econ professor gives Jacqueline a one off special project and an email address for additional lessons with the class tutor Landon.  Because of Jacqueline and Landon’s schedules they have to conduce their classes via email and soon they are flirting and getting to know each other in way they shouldn’t.

Meanwhile Jacqueline finds herself also drawn to a guy called Lucas in her class who played hero for her one night.  Lucas is everything her ex isn’t he is a tattooed bad boy and may just be the rebound guy that she is looking for.

I had seen that quite a few people were raving about this book and it had been likened to Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, which I enjoyed reading so I thought I would try this book.  I will say that there are some similarities between the two books.  The story is set at college there is a tattooed bad boy, break ups, and a Thanksgiving dinner, but the characters are completely different.  I must admit that I preferred the characters in this book.

This is a little bit of a spoiler but I would like to warn you before reading the book that there is a storyline of rape in the book and the main character does get attacked but not raped.  I know some of you may not like this as a storyline and I feel that you should be aware of it before reading.

I preferred the first half of the book where Jacqueline is flirting with Lucas and Landon to the second part of the book that dragged a little for me and it is for that reason why I won’t be giving this book full marks.  However I did enjoy Easy and read it in one sitting.  I liked both Jacqueline and Lucas and I could really feel the chemistry between them.  If you liked Beautiful Disaster then I recommend this book for you and I am going to give Easy 4 stars.

  1. Another sleepless night... I had to finish Easy... Last week was all about BTL. I'm officially addicted. yes, I agree there are similarities with Beutiful Disaster. I might prefer Easy though. Maybe just because I love TW's writing. I thought the second half of the book was actually better than the first half. I cant agree with you on EVRYTHING ;-) For anyone who hasn't read Between The Lines, please do!
