I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.I liked the main characters as well as the supporting characters. Their personalities were well done. And even though the plot of the book was predictable, it was enjoyable nonetheless.I had a few problems:1. The free dictionary defines the word snarled: "To growl viciously while baring the teeth." Now the author uses this term for conversations b/w the main 4 characters - what? Google defines the word squealed: 1.Make such a cry or noise: "the girls squealed with delight". Now in my mind, we're talking about young girls at a One Direction concert. Not adults living on their own in New York City. There were other instances and other words but these really got on my nerves. Describing situations in childish or clearly inappropriate ways.2. The "angst" part of the story was weak. The make-up scene was short and didn't hold water. The conversation needed more depth.3. There was a situation that came up with Colin's brother Christian that was never resolved. That bugged me.Overall the book was good but could have been much much better.
