I hate that I ever picked this book up. Belly as a character is so unlikeable, and she lacks maturity. She deserves all the exclusion that she gets. She acts like a ten-year-old.
Also, I'm pretty sure she chose the wrong guy. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for brooding bad boys, but the guy she chose was just a whiny, angsty arse who treats everyone around him like they're dust, meanwhile, the other guy is a sweet ball of sunshine trying to cope with life and staying positive. I'm actually glad the outcome is as it is because honestly, Belly saved two guys from herself.

I must admit though, this book is a guilty pleasure. I did enjoy the amounts of plot twists, and it's nice being able to not root a main character once in a while.
