I love the plot, of childhood friends becoming a couple, which is why I bought this book.I started this book last night, and my first thought was that the conversations were ackward and forced between Cassie and her parents; and then between her and Patrick.  I stuck with it for a while, and then skimmed the rest.  I thought much of the conversations were to express the character's thoughts and emotions to the reader, which I thought would have better if those moments were done as thought or narrated by the narrator.I also, didn't like Cassie's parents, they seem disconnected from Cassie.  Cassie complained of her curives, so mom bakes her cookies?  She also, seemed to try to joke with Cassie, but I felt again, like it was forced.Spoiler...I also didn't really care for the hero, Patrick.  At first, he was a great hero, and I thought this book would capture my heart as the book Bully did, but in the middle, I started to not like Patrick.  He just didn't convince me that he really loved Cassie or loved her as much as he said he did for all the years in between they times of togetherness.Spoiler....I didn't like the love triangle.  I don't mind love triangles in books, I just don't like them when you don't know which guy to hope for.  Both guys were equally dislikable and likable.  Yes, I know that many people are that way, and I do like characters who act much like normal people do.  But I didn't think either were truly worthy of Cassie, nor were someone I would actually go out with!There is some action in this book and moments that make you go "wow,"  but I felt overall that the characters fell flat.  This book just didn't tug on my heart strings like I like or thought it would.  I love heros whose love makes me want to cry and heroines who make go "way to go girl," and I just didn't get any of that from this book.
