3.13 AVERAGE


SO much drama! This is my second time reading this book b/c I never read the sequel and wanted to refresh my memory before starting 9 days and 9 nights. Still love this one!

I really love Katie Cotugno's writing. Through out this book I both loved and hated every character. I felt like my feelings for any one character could change drastically from one paragraph to the next. It was just such a real story. When you're young you fall in love, you mess up, you try to run, then you try to fix what you first messed up. But thats really what being a teenager is like. Your hometown does feel like the entire universe and like any mistakes you make will stay with you forever. And in some ways they will, you will learn from each of your screw ups and take that with you. I was able to relate to every body in this book in one way or another. And of course the romantic scenes were all very well written and made me feel like I was experiencing that first and second love all over again.

The end of this book was such a let down. Do not recommend.

Every character sucked but I enjoyed the drama.

This should be a one star, it really should, but I was so addicted to the story part of me just wants to give it a 4 *shrugs*

This book....ahhhhhhh! I can't come up with words for a real review. About half way through I got lost by how annoying and ridiculous the main character was acting and couldn't get past that the rest of the book.
