No wonder there’s so many bad reviews. I wanted to read how bad it was. Can say I don’t like it. Well, at first was fine but then drama comes in kinda ruins the mood.

Not gonna read the 2nd time I guess.

someone should make a book with girls that respect their own boundaries. "Patrick leans in. "No, swerve, I got a boyfriend and I'm boutta tell him. GABE!"

Okay so I really liked it. I feel like I loved it the first time around and this time, I really got to see all the mistakes that Molly made and it was so sad. But I also got to see the boys and have the same revelations that Molly had about their relationship.

1.5 ⭐️

The audio for this was not good. I cringed, a lot. I’m not sure why I committed to finishing it. 

I love YA romance usually but this did not do it for me. I didn’t really care about any of the characters or the storyline.
The whole cheating on brothers repeatedly got old really quickly.  

If you read this, I don’t recommend doing the audiobook. 

I am not quite sure what I am going to rate this yet because I both loved and hated this book at the same time. I'm not quite sure what I want to say yet either, but I am definitely going to review this book.

Because yeah, it's definitely one of those books.

You'll either love or hate this book and I LOVED it. Katie Cotugno's first novel blew me away and this one did that and more. Many people will shy away from it due to the fact that there is cheating in the book. However, and while I in no way condone cheating, the way Cotugno presents the protagonists struggle will have you rooting for her throughout the entire novel. And it's not really about cheating, it's about how sometimes you run back to what's familiar even though you know it's not right. I loved it so much.

ADDITION 5/8/2018: Reread May 2018 so I can read 9 DAYS AND 9 NIGHTS. and it still baffles me that this book was so hated. So many people want neat and tidy love stories. Love is so much more complicated. It’s messy and hard and yeah, love can make you do stupid, stupid things over and over and over again. And that’s exactly why I love every single Katie Cotugno novel. It’s never saccharine sweet. Her books are complex. They are gritty. They are messy. And most importantly, they are REAL.
