I am so in love with Dovey and Cuba’s story!!! So much so that I messaged Ilsa to tell her. I will miss these characters…for a while. Definite book hangover from this one. Dovey and Cuba are so emotional and I couldn’t help but get sucked right into their love, heartbreak, and struggles.“I wanted to woo her. And that was the craziest thought I’d ever had.”In Very Bad Things I barely remember Cuba. He just didn’t stand out to me. And why, I DO NOT KNOW.  I guess I was just thinking, another man-whore jock, BUT he is so much more, and in so many ways more. But, yeah, he is still a man-whore and he has his reasons for it. LOL! And then Dovey, Dovey broke my heart. I couldn’t even wrap my mind around her life and her struggles. She is an amazingly strong young lady who tried her hardest to do what was best. I usually get annoyed by female characters, but not Dovey….I loved her and I wanted to help her, and more than anything, I wanted to be her friend “Life is choices. It’s how we go on that makes us who we are.”Along with Dovey and Cuba, there are many secondary characters to this story, some I loved and some I wanted to cause bodily harm to, but they all had a purpose. They all helped get Cuba and Dovey to where they needed to be in some way, shape, or form.“You’re a light I need. Like a thousand ******* suns.”I enjoyed every emotional word of Cuba and Dovey’s story starting from page one, and to the very last page. This story touches on some very deep and heart-wrenching issues, and it is done with class.  On that last page I was sad and happy. It ended in a wonderful way, but I was sad that it was over. Not every book affects me in that way, but I did not want this one to end. I read it slow at the end so I could enjoy it up until the last few sweet moments. So needless to say, it is definitely on my re-read list, and comes highly recommended :) 
