So mad at this book right now I just there are no words for how pissed I am...... I really wish I hadn't taken Angie's Dreamy Reads advice and gotten this. The only reason this isn't a 0 star review is because of Gavin who is one of the best book boyfriends but hes not a good enough excuse to read it. Dillon made me sick and my skin crawl whenever he would show up and Emily just..... What I really hate is that I now feel compelled to buy the second book just to see how the author will fix the mess she made and to hopefully get a happy ending.

I love a story that I can lose myself in, that makes me feel, and makes me fall completely in love with all the characters. This was it. My heart felt like it was in a million pieces when I finished. Loved it!
There were such interesting and complex characters throughout. The whole dynamic of who likes who and the build was amazing. That build killed me too because Gavin and Emily's pull towards one another was so intense. Loved their chemistry!
Gavin wasn't the stereotypical rich guy to me. He had so much depth and I loved how he and Emily's relationship evolved and how persistent he was. So many thing with him just made me catch my breath and completely fall in love with him. I was neutral on Emily for about half the book, trying to figure her out, and then bam! I got it. I really liked her and felt for her. I'm not sure what else to say without spoiling anything but I get how and why she ended up making the choices she made. Dillon… talk about a character that makes your skin crawl. For as much as I loathed him, I thought he was really well written because he elicited all these emotions from me.
I thought the story was well developed, everything flowed nicely, and I really liked all the secondary characters. They all made sense and were well written. This story is told from third person and I really enjoyed it. It's was nice knowing what both Emily and Gavin were thinking throughout.
The end. Excuse me while I sit in the corner crying since my heart has been ripped out of my chest… cliffhanger! This book had me anxiety ridden and stressing out. It got under my skin and made me want for these people, hope for them, and cry for them. This book had me completely wrapped up and emotionally invested.
I fell in love, I got twisted up, and my heart got broken. It was just a fantastic read that had me rooting for these people that were meant to be together but had so many ups and downs and obstacles along the way. I need Gavin and bottle caps and Pulse (book #2) immediately. 5 stars all the way. Loved it!!!!

This book progressed slowly. I liked Emily until near then end. Then it felt like her character totally changed. I was shocked at how she freaked and ran about what she saw at Gavin's apartment. I get the freak out, just not the fact that she ran and then wouldn't even talk to Gavin. She was a moron. Gavin totally saved this book for me. His heartbreak brought tears to my eyes!

This book was so irritating. But for some reason i couldn’t put it down. Emily was so weak and ignorant and frustrating but i just wanted to see her grow some balls and stand up for her self.

This has to be one of my favorites thus far, despite the cliffhanger ending. I did grow a little frustrated with Emily toward the end because, seriously, we're talking Gavin Blake here. He could tell me the earth was flat and I'd believe! Am dying for the release of book two.

Wow. I am not a believer in love at first sight - that whole 'connection' thing, soulmates, true love, etc... I guess that's why I read about it. :) This book has that in spades - but it's not easy -and I love it when it's not easy... I guess I like my protagonists to be tortured, and boy, are Emily and Gavin tortured... not physically -but emotionally. I loved this, loved watching their relationship evolve. Yes, Emily was a little annoying, but it's easy to judge what you think she should have done when you're on the outside of the relationship. I can't wait to read the next one... Get here soon!! It's a five-star book because I stayed up past 1 AM because I could not stop reading - my alarm goes off at 4:30... it was that good... :)
