I’m only here for Daniel & Camille. Josh, Tiff and Grace and awful human beings. They’re all self-centered, entitled, hypocrites. Strong way to start a review. Why is Grace tricking her friends to follow some jerkhole ex around the continent? Why does anyone in this book tolerate anyone else? Why did Daniel keep talking to Grace? Camille deserves better friends. I truly only kept reading this train-wreck of a book because Daniel was such an amazing character. He’s witty, patient, hot, funny. His scenes alone are the only reason this book is being rated above 3 stars.

Okay, I am being kind of harsh. The writing was good! And as much as I hated the plot, it was like a train-wreck I couldn’t look away from. I guess I approve of the ending, but I stand by the fact that Daniel should be with anyone besides Grace. The only real complaint I have, in case I haven’t made it obvious, is that the main characters are really unlikable. That usually makes a book hard to read, but for some reason I kept going. That’s a testament to the skill Anna Gracia has. Overall I enjoyed the journey, even if I was rolling my eyes the entire time. I’ll def be checking out other books by Gracia.
