To say I was disappointed in this book would be an understatement. The characters in this book felt all thrown around. Like Neil coming back why? That was a really dumb move I didn’t like Emma at all, Not sure if that was the point but she was kinda insufferable. She also came really out of nowhere. I didn’t like that she chose to write this story with Justin. I read the three books in the series in secession and I could not even remember who Justin was until they mention Brad and Benny. I was hoping for Benny’s story or something. For 90% of the story nothing happened. Justin was sweet but he didn’t deserve the things Emma did to him. I never understood how people can forgive each other so quickly as soon as the person that hurt them says I love you I also never understood the whole love at first sight thing but to each their own
