Somehow I missed that this was a NA, College romance. I generally don't read those because they're filled with too much angst for my liking. This book was no exception. Nick was a wishy washy pansy and Jess forgave him for all his hugely moronic mistakes far too easily. I'll probably try the next book though, since Nick's brothers are older... Just didn't really enjoy this one all that much.

Cute quick read
I enjoy Nick and Jess’ story. It was funny and heartwarming, and I’ll definitely be reading the next two books in the series!

Something was missing
This book was good, not great. I liked the characters and I really like the storyline with the brothers and the bar and the drink names, but this didn't have near enough drama or angst. Everything was dealt with far too easily. I think if this story spanned a longer period of time and had a bit more drama, it would have been great

Great story by a great author. Nick is king of the campus, a senior and serial dater. When he meets Jess he is intrigued by her, because she seems to not care who he is. Jess is a sophomore when they meet, while she isn't innocent, she isn't in Nicks league. When Jess' major is cut from the college, she has no choice but to choose. I will not spoil it an say anymore.
The characters are well thought out, the secondary characters are more than just page space, they make the story click. I love J.Sterling, to me she can write nothing bad. Ever. This story is told in first person alternating view.

I am really want to give this book 4 stars. But i settle with 3 stars. No Bad Days reminds me a lot of Abby Glines books. It is for new adult audience.
The thing that i like about this book is actually nick's family. His brothers and his dad. I can actually symphatize with him how his dad controlls every aspect of Nick's life. Another thing is the writting. The writting is ok and light. Bit cheesy on the romance.
Things that i dont like:
1. The story is poorly develop. The twist, the drama, the angst is very very shallow and badly develop.
2. There is that much insta love. I do not get what is the attraction between Jess and Nick. So when they fall for each other, i can not feel it. I feel they are forced to be together by the author.
3. The lame background story and suporting characters like Nick's dad, Carla, is also badly executed.

45 percent of this book was 1 star. 45 percent was 3 stars. 10 percent of it was 5 stars. I'm going to give it three stars since it actually had five star moments which made me feel like I hadn't wasted my time listening to this story.
I almost gave up on this book many times because there's just no story in the first half. The characters are not interesting, the dialogue is boring and there's no storyline. I actually stopped and read the reviews for this book three times while I was listening to it. I couldn't understand the positive reviews. The writing itself isn't bad; the content is just not interesting.
Spoilers:
I almost stopped listening after an attempt to insert drama was made and it was so ridiculous and immature, I almost gave up hope for the rest of the book. The hero calls a radio station and says something on the air that the heroine hears. She gets upset and they have a public encounter about it after the fact. I'm just going to say that the reasoning the hero gave for his stunt is ridiculous, not attractive and does this book a disservice. And the fact he determined what he did was "worth it" was appalling. He should have been ashamed for being so immature and so willing to embarrass his girlfriend.
The last 25 - 40% of the book picked up in action, with some five-star moments sprinkled in. If you decide to give this book a whirl, if you find yourself getting bored, I recommend skipping ahead a little bit at a time until you hear something that piques your interest. You won't miss anything important.
