I read this in one sitting, and I enjoy the author’s writing (I liked a previous book of hers), but I just wasn’t feeling the story on this one. I’m really not sure these two people should end up together. At the very least they should both have had therapy first.

The first half was enjoyable, but the second half was painful. I pushed through, having to skim the las 10-15%, it was just bah, no good.
In the end I disliked the main characters so much, that I was fine with them being together. Lol
I would not recommend this as a romance, perhaps as "chick lit".

What a freaking whirlwind. This book had so many twists and turns, and it all happened so quickly. There are some seriously messed up relationships in this book, and a lot of emotional growth and baggage. I really think the author tried to pack too much into it, making everything feel rushed; there was info-dumping all over the place. It definitely read like a first novel, but I would be interested in checking out this author's next book because there is definite potential.
When Ryan and Kara were good, they were really good, but the rest of the time...not so much. I still have conflicted feelings over the ending, and how the last fourth or so of the book played out. This book is definitely an interesting ride, and although it's not the fluffy romance it's marketed as, it does have its own merits.
