I really wanted to like this book, especially after reading the reviews but about 50% into the book my opinion about the characters and storyline completly changed and I just couldn't support it any longer. I get that not everyone gets a happy ending, but the way the 'love' story was handled really rubbed me the wrong way. It felt like it was an easy out.
It’s trash. I knew it was trashy but at this point the virgin has fallen in love with two and bedded one. I wasn’t sure where it could go from there but I flipped ahead and a pregnancy and an untimely death just pushed it over the edge of what I will put up with.
Reminded me too much of Beautiful Disaster, which I HATED!, in that neither the hero(es) nor heroine was relatable to me. They did stupid things for stupid reasons and the plot didn't follow. Cheating isn't necessarily a dnf reason for me, but I didn't identify with Harper at all. If you want a good story about a romance in college, try Kristen Callihan's The Hook Up.
Would have given 4 but I didn't like what happened to Chance :-(
Not your typical love story/triangle. Very poignant, but a breath of fresh air nonetheless.
*Revised*
I mean tot be on here at the beginning I was a little skeptical at first because it reminded me of Beautiful Disaster. You had the hot tatted up guy who would screw anything with a vagina, then the other guys who was the fighter. Then just certain scens I'm like wtf? That happened in that book too. Like the shower scene before Harper went on the date with Brandon. But after getting in deeper and closer I saw it wwas nothing like it.
Finsihed this latnight. It was a very very LOOOOng read but you know what? I loved every second of it. I was sad I knew what happened to one of the main characters before reading this. When CHase died I wanted to cry, I really did But I was at work and can't do that here lol. I did miss him a lot but I'm glad the way Brandon stayed by Harper's side. I loved how it ended.

Oh my god!
Did you know?
Fact: This is the first book that I have read that actually made me cry? Well, sob more like it.
I loved it, I loved it so much. It made me laugh, feel giddy, turned me to mush. Then it ripped my heart out. I was surprised and I loved every bit of it!
So thank you Molly
Definitely going to read this bad boy again ;)

This book did a total number on me. I have never read a book that made me cry so much. I'm completely devistated...
Let me start this review by saying I tried to like this book, I really did! But every time I found a glimmer of a redeeming quality, it would be followed by redundant plot scenes or underdeveloped characters and I would be back to trying to convince myself to finish the book. Perhaps I set my expectations too high for my first read of the year...
