This was an extremely hard book for me to finish. And I really hate giving a bad review. I also can't help but wonder did the reviewers giving 5 stars read the same book as me? Or were we given different books? There were so many things wrong with this book I am not sure where to start.I guess the best place would be The errors. I will sometimes overlook a misplaced word but this book was loaded with them, and it took away from the reading experience. Here are some examples ... What if I would've stayed dancing him with there, in the rain... Another ... Jake invited to go up with him after I'd had a particularly bad day, but not because we were dating or anything...Don't worry Jake, I'm not about to go the press with some sob story about how you betrayed me. Those are just a few, there were more. Makes me wonder were this author's editor was, and do they even proof read books anymore.Then there was the fact that the story was just awkward, it just did not flow well at all. It focused in my opinion to much on the sister and her issues with men, when it should have spent more time expressing the H/h feelings. You know they slept together but it never talked about what they were really feeling after. Also as this was an unplanned weekend, did either practice safe sex? Did either use birth control? None of this was discussed.Then you had her ex boyfriend who it seemed wanted to get her back on a number of occasions. Yet come to find out he was seeing her best friends sister, really? And let's talk about the best Friend. He takes her virginity and then decides he is gay? And they are still best friends? Think if you are going to throw a bomb out like that you need to explore it more.I truly think the main characters " Jake & Keila " had great promise. He really was a nice guy. And she was a really sweet girl. The story just did not come together well at all.
