First, I must point out that the blurb doesn't match what actually happens in the book.

The story revolves around Vale, who has been in a long-term relationship with Crawford. Their perfect plan for the future comes to a halt when they are involved in a car accident leaving Crawford in a coma. Vale spends her summer visiting every day and it's during those visits she meets Slate, who is there visiting his uncle. Now that college is about to start, Vale makes the decision to go. There she becomes close to Slate and starts a new life. But then the unthinkable happens, Crawford wakes up...

Part one had me in love, I was head over heels for this story and the characters. It was lighting fireworks off in my head. However, when part two rolled around, I wanted to cry out in frustration. That big twist was not necessary and the rest of it was just rushed. It brought nothing to the plot and just complicated everything.

I would gladly recommend part one to everyone, I mean that part is well worth the read. Just maybe don't read part two.
