3.75

This book reminded me that I'm getting old... To Kasie West's credit, her characters DO read like they're in high school; unfortunately for me, as a 27-year-old, that meant I found them a bit annoying. Ok, I found Autumn annoying at points. Dax I actually really liked as a character; he was a bit aloof, but not nearly as emotionally unavailable as some authors like to paint characters in the same or a similar situation. Overall, I enjoyed the storyline and I really appreciated West's portrayal of anxiety, but I don't know if it's memorable.

Solid 3.75 out of 5 stars, ★★★★☆
