I really enjoyed this book and thought the characters of Jon and Ivy were well developed and relatable. However, the reason why this gets four stars instead of five is the heavy handed plot development. There will be spoilers so stop reading now if you don't want it ruined. There were far too many coincidences in this book for my liking; maybe coincidences isn't the right word but the fact that Ivy stops an attack in her dorm, and then witnesses a boy and a girl get in a car accident in front of Jon's house, and then the cherry on top was her explanation as to Jon's grandparents "they didn't know about you before but somehow they found out and they really want to meet now." Then there's the fact that Ivy meets Touch who just so happens to be exactly like her roommates who happens to have just broken up with some guy who treated her badly. Everything just seemed so predictable. I still enjoyed this book immensely but the cookie cutter clean ending irked me for some reason and seemed a little abrupt. However, i still recommend it as a good read.
