This book was HARD to get through. It was pretty dark and gritty and you kind of just want to shake the main characters a bit. The characters are immature and could've made better choices, but they're children so it's understandable. That doesn't mean I didn't ADORE these characters, because I did. All of them. I am rooting for all of them to have a happily ever after and figure their stuff out. The romance... was amazing. There was insta-attraction, but the love story took a while to develop, which I liked. Neither one of them really wanted anything and tried to fight against their attraction, but we know that never works. I hated the ending, but was glad that the big secret was finally out and I'm hoping for a HEA in book 2.
