I absolutely loved this book and the characters in it. 

I love how the boys get Jess out of her comfort zone and show her what it's like to actually be cared for. I love that she's finally finding where she belongs and who truly has her back. I do wish we had seen more of her best friend Ashley. It seems Ashley is really the only one of Jess's friends that won't judge or abandon her. So I'm looking forward to seeing whether she makes more of an appearance in part 2. 

I'm enjoying seeing all the characters pasts and what got them where theyIare. And I loved seeing how differently they cope with everything that's happened to them. 

I surprisingly love all the guys. I wasn't sure if I'd like all of them or not from some things other people have said about them. But I'm loving all of them so far and I don't see that changing with the second book. 

I'm excited to get into part 2 and to see what happens with their relationship as a whole and the individual relationships between all of them. I'm also looking forward to seeing what happens with Manson's dad being back and the trouble he already seems to be causing and even Alex and any revenge he may want to take on the group as well for what happened in the end of this book.
