Rating: 4 out of 5

I had a lot of expectations around this book. I mean, it was about Logan panty-dropping Matthews. I really liked him in More Than This and all the teasers that Jay was uploading in her facebook page about MTH had me all excited and waiting impatiently for the book. And maybe that was the problem, that I had way too many expectations. Jay's writing style is as gripping as it was in  MTT, but I didn't enjoy the flashbacks. I do understand that they were essential for the development of the story and to understand the story of Logan and Amanda but my head was kind of a mess trying to focus and the story. It is true that the flashbacks built tension and mystery around their story but I still didn't like them.From my point of view, there was way too much drama in this book. I understand those kind of things happen in real life but I still think it was too much in such a short time/ space. Seriously, how much more drama could they bare?I really liked seeing the other members of the group develop. Seeing Jake is as fabulous as in MTT and Lucy got more protagonist which I loved. I can't wait to read More Than Forever because they are just really perfect, my favorite couple in this series.When I started reading the book I had a crush for Logan, I loved his cockiness and all of him in general. But while the story develops he was starting to lose points and end the end I hated him. For me his actions do not have any sense and if I were Amanda I would have slap him. I do believe in second chances but not in third or fourth chances. Every human being has a limit of stupidity and Logan went too far, he just messed enough with her. And I really don't know what Jay will do to solve all this mess, I don't think I will be able to like Logan anymore and it upsets me because I do want to like him.I liked Amanda in general, she is independent, sassy and brave. She is a fighter but she cries why too much. She cries for everything! She was upsetting my way too many times. I get you cry when you are hurt, for bad memories, sometimes when you are happy but not everytime Logan says something or does something. She was kind of a baby, I didn’t like that.There is also an excessive use of cursing and bad words and it was a completely turn off for me.. It distracted me and I didn't like it at all, I mean every chapter had cursing, I noticed. And this is not the first time that happens to me while reading a book. I get that the protagonists are College students in their early 20s but I am a College student that has just  turn 21 and yes, I curse sometimes and say bad words but just when I think that something really bad had happen. I don't use f*** in almost every conversation I have. And as I said before I had this issue with other books but I really don't know why this happen. Do authors  really think young people are some kind of mini gangster or that we lack of education. Or maybe it is a cultural thing and US youth curse that much?Overall I liked this book and it was really fun to read it. But I can't wait to More Than Forever!!!-
