It's admittedly been over a decade since I read this, but I saw the trailer for the movie recently and this is the first time that I've ever hoped for a book-to-film adaption to only vaguely follow the source material. Fingers crossed that they've taken a lot of liberties and made the story less problematic.

Regret to buy this book so much. Beautiful? No. Disaster? Heck yes.

I'm sure if I read this when it was initially recommended to me in 2011 I would have LOVED it - it's definitely ideal for a new-adult audience. The overprotective nature of the MMC was bordering on codependent and coercive, and the FMC was 'not like other girls' so you sort of see the style of 'love' this book circled around. There are plenty of other reviews on here that go into very helpful granular detail with all the issues so I won't recap. I gave 2 stars because I know I would have been a sucker for it when I was younger but it didn't fly with me as an adult.
EDIT: I think Helena Hunting's Clipped Wings series does this trope of a damaged duo getting together a little better, its high drama but I was hooked. But then again, it might be just as problematic!

Wow I now completely understand the fascination of Travis Maddox! I really hope in the second book we get more of Travis' family! The relationship is even more dysfunctional that fifty shades, but still wow! There was some very intense parts and also some wonderfully sweet parts. I thought there was a bit in the middle that could have been deleted and the story would have still been great, but otherwise it was awesome! I thought America and Shep were great, and even Finch was pretty great!

I was sucked in from the very start and was rooting for the bad boy the whole way through! Yeah, Travis has his demons but I want a Travis who loves so fiercely!
