I loved this book! I am a huge Christina Lauren fan to begin with. I will read everything they put out. they have a way of just entrancing you in whatever world you are reading about and I can never put the book down. This book only lost a star for me because of the - what I identify as - miscommunication trope which I LOATHE. As well as she's faking a whole identity while acting normal to his face. I guess it could also be classified as a third act break up too and I hate that so so much. I think Millie had a big character arc! Reid is the dream book bf and he's in touch with his emotion and all the way around the dream man.

I loved this book!! it was giving Cinderella Story with Hillary Duff and Chad Michael Murray. Jessie and SN had great chemistry and I liked the mystery of it a little. It was a little predictable but Im here for it. I wish I could re-read this book for the first time. I inhaled it and read it in like 2 sittings.

I just didn't feel like this book lived up to all the hype that I had put on it. Obviously I knew going in that it was going to be about addiction and their fights with it but I guess I just had never really been in the mindset of an addict. I think this book really put into perspective for me how all-consuming addiction is no matter what your vice is. That being said though, it was kind of exhausting to read. I was angry at Lily for her being so upset with Lo about his addiction but not wanting to do anything about her own issues. I prefer a book to be filling and I love fluffy romance and this just wasn't that for me. I don't think the writing was bad and I do believe that it was a really great representation of how an addict thinks but it just wasn't for me.
