Review has been done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official. The book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.Open your eyes is a good book to read when you have a little bit of extra time.  It could have just been me, but it seemed to take me a little bit longer to read the book.  I think that is in part because while the actual plot is unique, it is still a very played out idea.  I am a little burnt out on love triangles.  I got really irritated when I read this book because the main character - Natalie - made the wrong choice.  I get that she did what she felt she needed to do, but it was the wrong choice.  It felt as though Natalie should have been called Bella.  She could not make up her mind about who she wanted and was too scared to go for what she really wanted.  She based all of her decisions on how others would view her as a person.  I also felt that the epilogue would not have happened had this been reality.  I loved the epilogue though, because she finally made a good choice!While I got irritated at some parts of the book (like Natalie using both men whether she realized she was doing it or not), I did enjoy reading it.  It was a nice change of pace from the deeper books I have read and a nice break from the smutty books I have been reading.  That was my favorite aspect of this book.  There is just enough smut to keep you from having to imagine exactly what was going where, but it wasn't overpowering to the point of annoyance.Overall I would recommend it to some, and tell a few to avoid it (only because I know their tastes and Natalie would get on their nerves).
