Not my favorite in the series. Jason was so.... boring. Not a fun boring either, a flat couldn't care boring. I did like Jess though, her personality made the book enjoyable. Also-Gilmore girls references, added a star!

* I received this book from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review*
Misbehaving was a nice New Adult read. It was fun, engaging, and had a nice twist that kept the drama going. I liked Jess, and her hardcore partying ways. It was a little different to read about the bad girl instead of the bad boy although I didn’t feel like Jason was a paragon of virtue. I liked that she wasn’t afraid to be herself, and she had a tough as nails attitude.
Jason was harder for me to feel bad for because he did have so many privileges, but while I did understand his frustration I felt like it was a little more dramatic than it needed to be. However, Jason was a great guy and I liked that in the end he wasn’t afraid to be there for Jess when he needed to be. I did wonder with some of the revelations that came at the end of the book why he continued to let his mother rule his life for so long, but that’s just secondary.
I truly felt bad for Jess, she had a rough life and it made me wonder how many people get caught in the trap that they can’t better themselves. Not everyone has a Jason to come rescue them from the terrible choices they have, and so that really got to me. I thought it was incredibly brave of her to make the decision that she did. I admired Jess a lot in this book, and really felt like she was given a bad reputation by everyone else.
I really enjoyed this book, and felt it was one of Abbi Glines best novels. I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars. It’s not that it wasn’t great, it’s just hard for me to give such a fluff read a full 5 stars. I highly recommend this for a fun and interesting read.

I love Jason and I'm so glad he found happiness. And it was great to find about more about Jess. Great book!

this one was kinda more all over the place. one second she would be sad over hank and then she would be with jason, next was krit and then jason again. still not sure if i like jason more then just a secondary character. i would rather a story about jeramy tbh. still really enjoyed it, it was amusing.

This is the best book out of the series that I have read so far. Abbi really made the characters journey realistic and heartfelt. I loved the drama that was included as well and the sexual tension was kicked up a notch in this one.

When I started reading Misbehaving I thought it was Grant's book (maybe because I can't wait for Grant's book to come out). At first I was a little disappointed it wasn't. I didn't really remember Jess from prior books, but I sorta remember Jason. Not enough to really remember what he was like. The disappointment didn't last long as I was drawn into the story. This story is probably one of my favorites from Abbi Glines. Yes, a lot of her stories are similar, similar plot lines, but I really like those story lines.
My favorite part of this book? Jess' mom telling her how Jason is her Logan. How she hopes she meets her Jess next, how Jess is her soul mate, not Logan. Jess is confused as she doesn't know who all these people and when she asks her mom? They are all from Gilmore Girls! Hilarious. I laughed so much when I read that. Oh how I love Gilmore Girls, and how much Jess' mom believes Rory's love life is what will happen in real life. Amazing.
Jess didn't seem very bad in this book. I was expecting more of a trouble maker, someone who does more "bad" things. She was actually nice and didn't do much. Sure she breaks into someones pool and swims one night, but not much else.
Jason seems nice, but is a little hesitant to really start something with Jess. I understand why he is skeptical of people liking him for him, not him for being Jax's brother. Jess and Jason get along so well and they are sweet together. Sure they have things they have to work through, and misunderstandings to deal with like always, but I enjoyed them both. Now to wait for Grant's book to come out....

Cliché, with boring characters. I didn't like/connect with any of them. Jesse was, dare I say it? - kind of stupid. Jason - uninteresting. The plot wasn't much either. How this book has such high rating is yet another one of the goodreads mysteries.

Not my fave Sea Breeze book at all. I connected with Jason and Jess, but I had a hard time with all the flip flopping and the not really communicating/connecting. Then, BOOM! I hated the abrupt ending. But, a less than perfect Glines book is better than most author's best effort any day. I hope everyone else has a better experience with these two than I did.
