It started off good. A girl getting help for getting away from her abusive ex and starting anew somewhere else. But then it just went downhill from there. I hated her interaction with everyone around her.Okay with Lexi, I did not like how the first half of the book was about her. It really was with her family tragedy and her breakdown with dealing with the media. And apparently it was suppose to be some kind of foundation for Emily and Reed to start their chemistry, which there was none by the way. But really it was Lexi this and Lexi that. How is she? Is she okay?Good lord.And with Reed, yeah no chemistry and I was sick and tired of hearing Emily's thoughts, they were just so middle school and childish how she couldn't look him in the eye and got all flustered around him. It was just pathetic. and then she goes to his house because Lexi asked her to and after some dumb event of him being outside in the cold, drinking they have sex though the scene is not typed out. No it just cuts to the next morning and talks about their sexual encounter via flashback and that is when whatever little interest i had left in the book, died and I skipped so many chapters. Then Jake came back into the picture so i was kind of interested to see how that was going to go down but that turned out to be just as predictable as well and I just returned the damn thing.This book kind of reminded me of On Dublin Street mostly because of Reed and Lexi reminded me of Braden and Ellie though they were much more interesting and so was the book as a whole. And Ellie was not as weak as Lexi. I feel like this book was loosely based off that book and it was not written as good as it could have been.And I know it was going to happen but it still annoyed me that Emily forgave Christine over the media leakage and how freaking cliche to bow out and let her take over an event she didn't deserve to have. Sick. The boss should have gave it to someone else. If Emily didn't want to do it, fine, but Christine did not deserve it. Oh boo hoo you work your butt off for a mere two years and someone comes in and gets so and so within months. Grow the heck up!Ugh, painful. Painful, painful, painful. Returned it for a refund. A dollar and six cents isn't much but I'll be dammed if I keep that on my kindle.
