Her mom Gwen has some doubts about Gia spending the summer in New York City especially since Ricky is going to attend the same enrichment program although the pair are just best friends. Gwen and her spouse Gia's stepdad LeRon set rules for the two high school seniors as does Ricky's mom.

Gia desperately wants her crush Ricky to make a move on her, but so far he has not so she prays the summer with no parents or siblings will encourage him as she wants to be his squeeze and not just his BF. When he does not and another cutie Rashad makes a move, Gia apparently adopts a new crush. Ricky is crushed as he wants her to be his girl.

This is an engaging young adult romance starring a teen drama queen and the two hunks in her life. Once Rashad forms the triangle, the fun begins and never slows down until the final beach scene. Readers will enjoy Cool Like That as Gia's soundtrack in her head includes Chrisette Michele, Beyonce, Ledisi and Mraiah Carey, etc, but should also have her singing ancient history's Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind? (Lovin' Spoonful)

Cool like that was an amazing book. Gia is going to a program in New York City with her best friend who she has a crush on named Ricky. Ricky seems to not be ready for more than just friends. But then Rashad comes around and Ricky finally thinks he is ready to make a move. Yet, Rashad is not ready to let Gia go that easy. Now it's up to Gia to make her decision! Join Gia on a journey of two hot boys fighting over her and see who she picks! Nikki Carter has really done it with the So For Real novels.

Gia is overly excited. She and Ricky, her bff and crush, are headed to New York City for six weeks for an enrichment program at Columbia College. All Gia can think about is how much fun and freedom they will have away from her mother's watchful eye and the drama that seems to follow her.

Unbeknownst to Gia, Rashad Moore, from Atlanta, Georgia, is going to stir up emotions that she's never had before. Ricky and Rashad instantly bump heads as he's openly pursuing Gia. Flattered, Gia finds herself craving the maturity, wisdom and attentiveness that is Rashad. She also has to come to grips with the fact that with Ricky there is history and Rashad lives in another state. Is it okay to crush on more than one guy at a time? Is it possible that her mom, Gwen, may possibly know what she's talking about?

COOL LIKE THAT is the fourth book in the SO FOR REAL SERIES. It's funny, explorative, and filled with forgiveness. I love that the story embraces new characters, while keeping you abreast of past characters. Definitely recommended reading.

Cool Like That was one of the cutest books that I've ever read. The characters are hilarious and quite memorable. This is an excellent young adult read, but it is also a great escape for an adult reader who just wants to relax and turn back the hands of time. Thouroughly enjoyable!!!!! I could not put it down.

I didnt know this was more of a teen book, but it was nice to read.
