I’ll start off with saying I wasn’t the right audience for this one. It was too cheesy and YA for me. I almost DNF’d but the reviews kept me going and in the end I just didn’t get what the hype was about. Michael gave me the ick and Wes was portrayed as too perfect for a high school boy. Liz was whiny and I just couldn’t relate at all. And it was sooooo predictable. Yawn. I choose this book solely on the cover and it steered me wrong lol.
