I started crying at 2% so i thought i was in for a ride but somewhere along the way it got lost for me. i loved the parts involving her dad (and her whole family actually), i cried at each one, but i could not get into the love story at all. Didn't feel believable to me and at times i found myself bored and skimming. The twist was good, i think if I "felt" them more, it would have been more intense for me.It always surprises me when this happens b/c as far as i'm concerned, the more erotic the sex the better, but in these more innocent feeling books, when the scenes are explicitly described, it comes across very awkward and out of place. Maybe it's also because the book was so sad; i'm crying,i'm horny, i'm crying, i'm horny, i'm crying. Either way, it was well written and absolutely emotion provoking, i think more build up to the love story with Josh would have helped, and less about how hot he was. We get it, girls lust after hot guys with nice abs and tattoos (at least in every NA book i've ever read), but this was a very sweet guy who really seemed to fall for her so why does it just have to be about how he looks?The storyline with her ex was right out of 1980, which actually makes sense b/c as i read it my daughter was watching Full House LOL. MAde me think of movies like St Elmo's Fire and Less than Zero, those were the days...
