This book wasn't to my taste. It was way too sweet for me. That being said, I know that Tracking You by Kelly Moran is someone's favorite book of the year. If you enjoy the super sugary sweet romances where the childhood friends who have been best friends since birth and hide their attraction for the other in fear of losing said friendship then you're going to love this book. It's extremely well written and even has engaging plot line and sub characters. I'm just not a fan of this type of romance personally but I'm not blind to the fact that many do. And I did enjoy the story and Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

Kelly Moran is a new "must read" author if this book is anywhere as good as her past works. Believable characters are featured, even if some of the scenes are a little hard to believe. I enjoyed the unusual incidence of nice people being included in the story.

Both Gabby Cosette and Flynn O’Grady had been passed over for other people—Gabby because she’s the girl-next-door, the pretty but not gorgeous kind that men put in the friend zone, and Flynn because of his disability and his quiet nature. Yet they’re best friends, co-workers and simply people who rely so much on each other that entangling their lives beyond this risks the complete collapse of their friendship. But not rocking the boat isn’t an option anymore, when the small crush (Kelly Moran makes it clear it was never serious pining or secretly-in-love kind) Flynn has nursed but shoved deep into a box suddenly sparks a bigger flame.

I’m always wary about best friends-to-lovers romance, but I’m glad Moran has her characters addressing why the sudden change occurred—and of all times, why now? I wasn’t entirely too sure what sort of answer would have satisfied me though, to be honest, but I could frankly say that I liked how Gabby and Flynn themselves struggled with this and how the resulting tension that came out of it made for a delicious, smouldering build up of heat. The pacing lags a little as Gabby/Flynn transition from friends to more but I think Moran does show how perfect they are for each other through every up and down in their lives. I completely understood Gabby’s perceived insecurities about Flynn not wanting her ‘properly’, yet how tuned in she is to him—how considerate she when it comes to his deafness despite her inability to see how Flynn had crushed on her—won me over. It’s equally difficult not to feel for the deaf guy, who, while a quietly confident man on his own, does have several issues of his own to overcome with regard to his inability to hear.

‘Tracking You’ is quite an emotional, romantic read nonetheless; there’s the homely feel of the small-town romance and the sense that neighbourly interference is good-natured rather than malicious so when the couple in question finally get together, it’s with cheers and all the feels you can summon up.

Is Tom in a business meeting, or on a date? And he can't even be bothered to show up on time?

Rachel sounds slutty, and not someone she should want to emulate, sister or not.

I can't imagine having to rely on someone to tell me what people are saying. Bad enough I can't drive.

I've always wondered if the deaf get the same enjoyment out of movies. Yes, you can get captions, but the background music often sets a scene.

Do deaf people need phones? I mean, they can text.

Hmm, usually the brother of the bride threatens the groom, not the brother of the groom!

Ugh, he's deaf, not contagious! Poor guy.

Aww, she uses sign language when he's not there. She wuvs him.

Ooh, Brent's got reverse psychology down pat.

The Battleaxes are so not subtle.

Mrs. Crosby's house sounds like my worst nightmare.

I. Hate. Cats.

Ugh, I'm beginning to despise Rachel, and we just met her.

It's like she's his wife, but without the romance.

Who hates jell-o?

What the hell? What a time for her to walk in, haha! What were they doing to the poor dog?

This is the best love-letter tour ever.

Five bucks says these guys are either cooking meth or growing marijuana.

Don't be a downer, man. You have you two breaking up badly, and you haven't even had a date yet!

Ah crap, his first kiss? I call do-over.

Did he have sex with someone, and they wanted to stop, but he couldn't tell?

Poor doggies.

How do deaf people know what the words sound like?

Her hair, Brent? What'd the poor kid ever do to you?

Well played, Battleaxes.

Her parents sound like douchebags. Their daughter's best friend is deaf, and they couldn't take a class?

He has a point. She's been coddling him his whole life. She'd probably chew his food for him if she could.

Meep. Best best-man speech ever. Where the hell are the tissues?
