review 1: I found this book at the right time. After a few dark and emotional reads, Side Effects came along and made me laugh and feel good. The author did a wonderful job at bringing her characters to life and many times I thought to myself how cool it would be to have Quinn as a best friend. Life would not be boring I can say that for sure. The premise of this story is Quinn deciding to finally go after the love she desires yet is afraid to be tied down to. After being hurt and let down by men in the past, deciding her future isn’t going to be comfortable. She has some major panic about things in life and watching her overcome them is both endearing and funny at times. She sees her close friends settling down and getting married, putting their life back on track and having... more kids and she begins to believe maybe it is time for her to focus on the same thing. She has her buddy Talented Tyler and I am sure you can guess why he has that nickname and it isn’t because of his on stage performances. They have a hot chemistry together, he is everything she wants in bed, best of all he doesn’t want a commitment to her any more than she wants one with him. She loves that he plays in a band and has covered his hot body in tattoos. He is the ultimate bad boy and by staying with him she doesn’t have to worry about the future. He is the perfect distraction from what she knows she needs to address. Then here comes Reed Porter, nicknamed Preppy Porter. He is a confident man who appears to be a straight laced nerd. He is nice to look at but doesn’t light her bad boy fire. Good thing for Reed that he has no problem identifying what he wants and going after it. Slowly he starts to tear down Quinn’s walls and works his way in enough to show her how a man should treat a lady. She had the best of both worlds, or so she thought. She has a bad boy for bed and a nice guy for life, until she went to bed with Reed and found out that some nice guys have a naughty streak and can be extremely satisfying in bed. It sounds like it would be an easy choice right? Reed who is the total package or Tyler who really only has the bad boy theme going for him, but what if Tyler decided that he could be a nice guy too? Now Quinn is going to have to figure out what path her life is going to take and not panic about it as she makes a choice. Quinn is a smart mouth who had me cracking up, especially when she was trying to convince herself of something. The way she labeled everything in the world and gave nicknames to people really allowed us to see how her mind worked. I loved how the author wrote both of the guys, both so real and enticing yet so different which made Quinn’s options even more appealing. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a hot, sexy and funny read. The author did a great job and keeping the story interesting and flowing and I would love to read more of her books in the future.

review 2: 4.5 starsI loved Side Effects! Are you sick of bad boys who always get the girl?? Well get ready for the nerdy guy to come in and swoop you off your feet! That is right ladies, for once it is the nerdy, smart guy that converts this bad girl wanna be over to the good side!For some reason Quinn has decided she is gonna ruin her life with crappy relationships and bad choices. She has been cheated on, almost left for dead and hurt by all ex's. This has made Quinn decided that bad boys are for her. Why I am not sure! She is OK being used by her "friend with benefits" Tyler. He is a grade 'A' jerks and she lets him do what he wants with her, when he wants for far too long. The sad part is that Quinn seems like a nice person. A high school English teacher who is close with her family, funny, caring when she wants to be. She deserves more. Luckily Reed walks into her life. Reed is as straight laced as they come. Always wearing khakis and polo shirts. Clean cut, Good Job. Everything a girl would want, but not Quinn. The second she meets Reed, Quinn flips her bitch switch and tries to scare him off. For some reason, Reed won't walk away. When Quinn goes over to her parents for dinner and Reed is there with her brother, she is forced to spend time with him. When she is not being rude, or maybe she realizes why she is being rude, she sees Reed is hot, charming and funny. Quinn knows he could be good for her. But keeps going back to Tyler.I loved that Reed took the time to show Quinn what a real gentleman is. How he trees a women and respects her. His courting Quinn put things in a whole new perspective.But Quinn being Quinn, sees she may not be good enough for Reed after a scary event takes place. It is the "side effect" of dating her. She is bad news. Quinn blames herself and runs. Thank goodness for Reed, who is like the super boyfriend! He doesn't whatever it takes to get Quinn to see what is right in front of her eyes. I loved this book. I can't wait to read more from Lisa Suzanne!!! less
