This one started very slowly, but the pace picked up about halfway through the book. The first person POV really dragged it down for me, causing too many simple sentences of "I", and too much telling rather than showing. I did appreciate the main character's growth, and that Evan ended up actually being a good guy. He was a good balance for Morgan and seemed to be what she needed. I thought the ending came abruptly and fell flat - I would have liked a more well-rounded conclusion. I read this book as a traveling book in  LiterALLy BOOKiSh Book Club, the best group on Facebook.
