I didn't know what to expect when getting this book and read some really positive reviews so had to check it out. I love the heroine in this book , she is tough and vulnerable at the same time. I like the fact that the romance part really didn't develop right away. Jess likes the new guy Seth, so her friend Amanda talks to him to put in a good word for Jess. The next day Amanda is dating Seth, Of course if I had been Jess I would have been a lot more upset when Amanda starting dating him,,, she really got off easy considering the whole purpose of talking to him was for Jess,  I don't know of many hormonal teenagers that would be that OK with it. Loved Jess's parents and unlike some other YA books, they were around and concerned for her but a bit unbelievable that after she kept having to go to the hospital after her "accidents" that they would still let her have so much freedom - that was stretching it a bit. The parents reminded me of the parents from the movie "Easy A", funny and cool about a lot of stuff.Seth really didn't do it for me as the romantic interest, kept waiting for him to be a bit more interesting, a bit stronger...since the story starts with him dating jess's best friend, I guess I didn't really warm up to him. His sister, Lily, was a great character but it got weird at the end, not sure where the author is going with this one.Not sure I'll read the next one - depends on how it is priced.
