I have been waiting a long time for this book's release.  In the beginning, I liked it a lot, but I as I kept reading, my enthusiasm waned.  I liked Jess a lot.  She's strong and interesting.  She is willing to do whatever it takes for her family; which I love.  No one has ever stood up for her, not even her cousin Rock.  I also found this disappointing.  I wanted someone to be loyal to her other than her mother.  Pretty much everyone in the book treated her poorly, especially Jason.  He never did anything horrible, but he never supported Jess as a typical hero would have.  I have read all of Glines' other novels, and none of the men in those books were as undeveloped and as bland as Jason.  He was my whole problem with this book.  He does not deserve Jess.  Most of his portions of the book focused on his physical attraction to Jess.  She loved him even when he could not really see her.  Overall, I agree with Jess' mom's initial Gilmore Girls analogy.  Jason was her Logan and Krit was her Jess.  I felt like she only ended up with Jason because he could take care of her financially and give her the neat and clean ending.  However, I felt myself cheering for Krit.  At least he knew what he had when he had her.  I'm still not sure that Jason does.
