I have mixed feelings about this book. The story was cute and engaging. That being said, I felt there was almost too much character development and the story felt a little bit unfinished. While the two main characters' story wrapped in a somewhat satisfactory matter, the side plot with Astrid did not resolve at all. I also feel that there was a lot of language and sexual content that did not contribute to the story at all, thus making the story less appealing to me.
