I did not like this book at all.  Everything about this book seemed forced, nothing seemed natural or believable.  It's like there wasn't a storyline thought out before it was written, it got made up as the author went along.  I don't think I can write a review explaining myself without SPOILERS, so you've been warned.Gracie must have been suffering from multiple personality disorder, because it was like she was four different people.  I was constantly saying "huh?" in regards to her behavior.  She's "dating" Hudson, but their relationship is pretty much sex, that's it.  He grabs her, shoves her a couple of times, but she only seems mildly annoyed.  Everyone but Gracie sees red flags with this guy.Cameron is Gracie's gay BFF.  He's not so much written as an actual person, but more as every gay cliche and stereotype.  He's obnoxiously ridiculous.Ashton is a friend of Cameron's and Gracie is in insta-lust with him.  She thinks he's gay, but pines over him anyway, and does obnoxious stuff to him like put his hands on her boobs, or put her hands down his pants.  Then she apologizes and keeps pining.  Even though she's still having sex with Hudson, she gets jealous and angry at Ashton a lot.Of course, Ashton isn't gay, and has been in love with Gracie since he met her, because he has some kind of fetish for vapid women with way, way too much baggage.  He was such a wimpy guy, putting up with Gracie's crap, and constantly spouting lines that sounded like Hallmark greeting card rejects.  Gracie's constant mood swings would have any sane man running far and fast.Then the story turns from this bizarre sort-of love triangle to violence and insanity.  There's rape, beatings, stalking, forced motorcycle accidents, pregnancy, shootings and murder!  But none of it felt in any way believable.  It was just way too much eye rolling for me.Fortunately this was free, otherwise I would have asked for my money back.
