I think this was the first book I've ever had to wait a few days after finishing it to write a review. While I don't want to elaborate why for spoilers sake, I will say that I was left with a mixture of emotions, and very deep ones. And guess what? That's exactly the thing I appreciated most about this book.Lily, the heroine, is the only character I had completely mixed feelings for. In the beginning, I absolutely loved her. There was never a dull moment. I laughed harder and more frequently in this book than I ever have in another before. I found the comedy worked very well for her character in the beginning. There were moments further into it that I wanted to see that serious side of her more, maybe have her show that she really did feel something more than what she did. She seemed quite emotionally stunted for longer than I expected. BUT, as I kept reading and after finishing the book, I realized why those moments didn't happen earlier when I hoped they would.  However, Lily redeemed herself, and I really look forward to reading about how she moves forward and applies the lessons she's learned from her choices in the future.Ultimately, after reading the ending, I can only praise the authors for the direction they chose to take this story and this book. There were risky moments, sure, but risk is what sets a book apart, and they implemented those risks very well. This isn't your typical romance. It's not even your typical love-triangle.Also, I should mention that I'm team Adam. =D I LOVED Max, but Adam won my heart completely.
