I had really high hopes for this one because the premise sounded extremely cool. And for the most part I *did* enjoy it. It was full of twists and turns and surprises I didn't see coming. And then it took a turn for the NYARGH and I genuinely don't know how I feel about it. 

Like, was it REALLY necessary to have Jesse turn out to be Kat's brother that she never knew about? And for him to KNOW that they were siblings and be totally okay with sleeping with her for over a year anyway? Wasn't it enough to have her be using him as a means of escape rather than actually having feelings for him?? Because, like, NO. GROSS. NO THANK YOU.
