I didn't actually think I was going to like this book all that much but I just couldn't stop listening to it. The story was really fun but I couldn't stand Molly. She kept bitching and complaining about how everyone hated her but she continued to make stupid decisions to make people hate her more. She was a very irritating character but it didn't take away from me enjoying the story.

Pretty basic teen drama, but boy is hard to like a single character in this book. Maybe that was on purpose.

Was I supposed to like Molly or nah?

This was a super cute romantic read which isn't really my favorite type of book to read. The plot was cute, but the main character continually made me angry throughout the book by (slight spoiler) repeating the mistakes she had made before she left. This was a cute book, and I recommend if you like romance.

The female character is complicated. Yes, she keeps making the same mistake. But that’s because she has a complicated past and her coping mechanisms are broken. She learns the hard way that her instincts aren’t good.

Lots of real people are complicated. They just keep making the same mistakes, or similar ones. Until they heal their broken pieces.

Reviewers need to look at her age and her circumstances.

Better than her last book, but at the end I was kind of like, "Wait, what?"

Well written but I couldn't get behind Molly's decision making. While the ending was better, it was too little too late to redeem her.

I read this in a day! I loved the format of the play-by-play of each day, but the end just made me want more.

*SPOILERS*

Did she end up with Gabe or not? Like I need an answer. I'd be fine if she didn't and just realized she was being played on both ends, but it just didn't happen. I kind of felt like nothing happened. Even when She realized what was going on it was the end of the days so nothing really happened. It was just like "Oh, so you both played me too" *small slap on wrist*

That being said overall the book was fun to read. I would love a sequel where Gabe possibly gets into the med program?

DID NOT FINISH: 5%

This book is about a girl stuck in a love triangle between two brothers—one she was dating and one she was cheating on her boyfriend with. I DESPISE books like these where all she had to do was say she isn’t sure about her feelings, break up with the boyfriend, and try things out with the other brother. There is no reason in THIS case that there should be cheating AT ALL. I DNFed at 18 pages and will not pick up again.
