Okay- This was pretty good. I enjoyed it. Dane and Vienna's relationship took a while to grow on me. I think he always liked her but due to personal reasons, never pushed a move on her. Instead of jumping into a relationship, it was easier to jump into marriage straight away. The trust fund was like a blessing in disguise. I felt bad for Vienna a lot, considering her past. Her and Dane were really closed off throughout the whole book. It got dark fast. I felt bad for Dane after learning about his past but it explains himself and the way he is perfectly. I loved Simon. I loved the mental illness representation. I loved the whole "touch her and you die" vibe. Overall I enjoyed it.
