I really enjoyed reading this book, however i had some problems. 

I really liked how coley’s pov was shown through first POV, but Sonya’s was shown through social media “messages”. This really helped show the duality of her character, how she acts with her friends, and then how she acts in private, and the stuff she can’t even admit to her closest friends. I personally felt the ending was a bit rushed, and that coley was very quick to forgive Sonya, however I also understand. I would’ve liked the romance to be a bit more dragged out, rather than just the heartbreak, but I still really enjoyed this book. I felt like a lot of things were brought up, but there wasn’t enough closure to the story. Like what about Alex, what’s going on with him? Or how is Sonya going to deal with everything in her family. I would’ve preferred this book to be a bit longer, and have gotten more closure on their storylines. Overall though I really enjoyed reading this book, and was happy when everything (kind of) worked out in the end.
