I really wanted to like the continuation of this series.  I found it more of a young adult romance rather than adult.  All of the characters displayed immature tendencies.  Bass and Emma disappointed me with their insecurities and all the drama, which they created by their own actions.  The beginning of maturity is the acceptance of responsibility.  All the drama pointed to their immaturity.  I'm still trying to figure out if any of them were even old enough to drink.The character of Emma was not well developed.  Yes, she was beautiful, however, did that give her the right to be so fickle?  She couldn't' t commit to anything in the long term, such as school, acting, even Bass and Carter.  She seemed like a girl, rather than a mature woman.  I was confused, and following them gave me a headache.I bought the books because I liked Pamela Ann's "Chasing" series.  I figured she was on to something.  The "Torn" Series was an international roller coaster ride.  These kids had more money than sense, and it showed in their irresponsible acts.My reviews are rarely harsh, however, I dedicated three days of my time trying so hard to like these characters.  I am finally finished, and I just want my money back.  I'm taking a well-deserved break from this author and moving on to more mature character development work.
