3 stars because it's just okay.
This book was the first in the series where I didn't have this constant vague sense of annoyance while reading it. The writing gets better and better for each book - I genuinely hadn't seen the twist coming this time. Though it's not much different from the others. Four books in and each book follows the same pattern. I hope that changes, it's getting a little boring.
Once again, I have to conclude that I'm simply too old to fully enjoy these books. There was so much teenage drama in this one to the point that I sometimes wondered why I was even reading it. It wasn't enough that one couple had issues, no. It had to be all of them simultaneously - even if one of the couples was away for half the book!
Not a book I'd read again, but at least now I can have an opinion about these books based on actually reading them and not just rumors.
