Eden: Josh Evans and I have been best friends forever. He knows all my secrets, and I know all of his. So when he randomly asks me to help him lose his virginity, I sort of flip out. That’s a question that sends your mind to places you’ve seriously never considered before. Like, you know. Having sex. With your best friend. Except Josh doesn’t want to have sex with me—he wants me to help him find a girl. A nice girl who’s funny and smart and cute. Except he already knows a girl just like that...
Josh: Eden Sumner is my best friend. So of course she’d be the person to help me find my perfect match, so I can drop my V card before I head off to college. Except the more we search, the more I realize that maybe the right girl has been by my side all along. I don’t need Eden’s help in finding me a girl to love. I’m pretty sure I’m already in love with Eden. But now she thinks I’m only after one thing...with anyone but her.

Kristine's Thoughts:
** I received an advanced readers copy from Entangled Teen in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!**
Saving It was the story of best friends who discover they have feelings for each other that go deeper than friendship. The problem is that they were trying to find someone for Josh to lose his virginity to before heading off to college when they made this discovery. Neither one of them wanted to admit it to the other and risk losing the friendship that they cared so deeply about.
You definitely have to put your high school hat on in order to enjoy this book. Otherwise it will seem pretty immature and shallow with all of the obsessing about sex and losing ones virginity. As someone who is outside that genre I tried to put myself back in high school and I remembered how emotions and hormones ran high with that population and it helped me to relate to the characters in this book a little more.
Josh and Eden's friendship was cute and the dual point of view was a great way to get to know both characters. At times I found it a little repetitive but for the most part I enjoyed their journey. Of course I was routing for them to come clean about their feelings and get together. Who doesn't like a good friends to lover story.
I think Saving It would be best enjoyed by readers of a similar age to Josh and Eden or maybe slightly younger. Teens who are going through similar thoughts and emotions would probably appreciate it most. Although it was somewhat predictable and I am no longer in that age demographic I still found it entertaining.
