Personally, I really didn't like Liz. Was some of her behaviour understandable? Yes. But it doesn't change the fact that she was very annoying for most of the book. That being said, I really, really liked Wes (despite that fact that he was not a so-called bad-boy. You can't be labelled a bad-boy/bad-girl because you were a little annoying as a child).
Overall, I enjoyed the book and it was the push I needed to get out of a book slump. But this is also one of those books that is a reminder than not all YA books are for me- and that's okay! I enjoyed it regardless, and I'm happy for that.
