Anyone but Rich by Penelope Bloom

Anyone But Rich by Penelope Bloom

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Kira has made a vow with her 2 best friends. Never, ever get involved with a King boy. Rich, Cade and Nick have single handedly ruined their collective lives, well as much as a teenager’s life can be ruined. They vow to never give those boys their attention again, ever. Which is easy to do since the boys hightailed it out of town to the left coast after graduation to make themselves billionaires.

Rich King is returning to his hometown on the East Coast knowing he will have to eat some crow sooner rather than later. He has one person in mind that he knows he will have the hardest time with. He is hopeful that Kira will forgive him but you never know. Heading back with Stella (his fake girlfriend) on his arm gives him strength to face not only Kira but his parents and their overbearing ideals.

Kira just wants to get through her first day of teaching, conveniently at her old high school. Once Rich King was done making a fool of her and ruining any chance she had a bettering her station, this was what she could obtain. She is determined that life will not win this time. Determined that is until her classroom door opens and in walks Rich King.

Kira used to have no problem telling twins Rich and Cade apart but now that they’ve been gone from town all these years, it gets a little more complicated. Cade she liked, he was no nonsense, more relaxed and she actually dated him briefly. Albeit while trying to make Rich jealous but that’s beside the point. Rich and Kira have a lot to work out from both their past and their present. But each is hoping they can use this opportunity to have a fresh start. Maybe once they get past a few things though.

A good first book to start off this 3 book (I’m assuming) about 3 brothers and the girls they left behind. I enjoyed the push pull that Kira and Rich experienced both in the past and what can be their future. I’m excited to see how the friendship dynamic changes in the other 2 couples interactions. Solid 5 stars for this book I voluntarily read and reviewed.
