3.5-4 starsIt took me a little while to get into the flow of this book.  That has more to do with geography and editing than it does with the story itself.  The author is Australian and that is the setting for the book.  I am in the US, so I was unfamiliar with some of the terms and slang.  Context did not always indicate/clarify what was being said and I had to look up a handful of words/terms.  As far as editing goes, there were a couple of instances where the incorrect character names were used and I had to re-read the paragraph.  There are identicle twin brothers - Jackson & Jeremy, so I understand how they could get mixed up.  That being said, the story moved very quickly.  In some instances it was a little too quick and more of the story would have been appreciated.  What was the purpose of Luke?  Why did Matt show up & how did he find Edie?  Why does Jackson call Edie, Ace?  While elaboration wasn't exactly necessary, it would have been nice to have a little more insight.  I easily fell in love with all of the characters in this book (except for Matt - but he's not supposed to be likeable).  I did enjoy the story, but I just wished that there was more.  I really wasn't ready to be done with the book when it ended.  I look forward to reading the next book - which will be Jeremy & Ava's story - now that I have the feel of the writing flow.
