This was tough for me to get into.  Something that isn’t in the synopsis or any of the reviews I read: they’re in college, and if I didn’t know Quinn’s books usually include sex scenes, I would think this was YA. The latter half of the book deals with more mature life issues, and reads as less YA than the first half. 

I like the characters. Andrew is funny and wears his heart on his sleeve; Sadie has been through a lot and is just tired of life’s shit, and Andrew becomes her breath of fresh air. The ending kind of pissed me off -
Andrew broke up with her because he didn’t want her to ”hide behind him,” when there wasn’t any evidence that’s what she had been doing. It sounded a lot like he didn’t want to be with her while she worked through shit, he only wanted to be with her when things were good and she was happy. Shitty as that was of Andrew, it really didn’t ring true for the character Quinn had written.


The beginning has a lot of slut shaming, but that doesn’t continue through the whole book.
