Disclaimer: I received this book in exchange for an honest review.A few years ago Ivy Mcallister had a seemingly perfect life, being popular in high school and having a boyfriend everybody loved. That changed after and accident. Now she is trying to move on with her life attending college in Pacific State University, away from her hometown in California. At a college party with friends, she meets Jon Priestley and despite thinking that he is a player and a bad boy she can't help but being intrigued and also attracted to him. After Jon helps Ivy getting out of a difficult situation she soon realizes that there is more to him, and she also realizes that he is able to calm her down and make her feel safe.In the beginning of the book, I have to say that I was afraid that it was going to be very predictable and not different from many other books with two broken main characters. Fortunately, I shouldn't have been afraid. This books tells a very good story of two people that have been through a lot and become very quickly intrigued by one another. I liked that they didn't start professing their undying love immediately and that things developed while they were getting to know each other. That made the story even more believable.What I liked:-The story is told in 2 POV's (Ivy and Jon)-Believable story-Likable characters- The movie references-The college life atmosphere-Just the right amount of angstWhat I would have liked:To read more about Jon's life before he met Ivy.A bigger last chapter/epilogue.I can't finish this review this review without saying that when I finished this book I realized that I had a smile on my face.
