Sam Cruz's Infallible Guide to Getting Girls



Why the hell can’t chicks be more like guys?

That question plagues high school senior Sam Cruz. Sam is perfectly happy being a player. He just wishes girls wouldn’t change the game from sex to relationships. It makes him look like an asshole. But when Sam’s best friend, Ally Klinger, gets dumped, she begs him to transform her into someone who can screw around then screw off. No risk of heartbreak that way. It’s Sam’s chance to create the perfect female AND cheer up his best friend. Armed with Sam’s Three Step Guide to Backseat Success, Ally gets the game better than Sam thought she would and before long, Sam has his wish: the female version of himself. Too bad it’s driving him nuts.**


I started reading this book with the read along that Fic Fare and Swoony Boy's had going on this week. I love a good friends to more book, so this was a no brainer to start. I wasn't disappointed.

Sam is a total player but he owns it. He doesn't try to act like he's a nice guy. He's literally down for sex without any strings.  He just wishes he could find the female version of him, that would be the perfect girl. Scratch the itch and no drama afterwards.  When his best friend Ally is dumped on her birthday by the jerk she's been dating she decides she wants Sam to teach her his ways. He's game and hopes he can successfully teach her how to be a player.

Ally's boyfriend, Jeremy broke up with her on her birthday and left her a mess. She thought she loved him, thought that things were more than they obviously were. She begs her best friend, Sam to teach her how to not care. So she goes through a transformation; new clothes, new hair and a new attitude. She enjoys the new look she has going and the looks shes getting.  She's doing everything he told her to do and she's enjoying the sexual freedom.

I loved the banter between all of the characters. Rachel and Ian, Etienne and all of the people at the diner. It was hard to read though about these teenagers that just did what they want. I have a teenager and the thought of him doing all of these things and me not even knowing about it was a scary thought. I know her mom was around and Sam's dad was around but they weren't parents, not at all.  It seemed like they could do what ever they wanted and there were no consequences.  The basis of the story was friends to more and I loved that aspect of the book. Ally and Sam knew each other so well that they were in essence made for each other.
