Review: As they say in this book, Meh....
Rating: 2 out of 5

I wanted to like this book so much because let's face it, the cliff hanger at the end of book 1 was a major one with Brandy being in a devastating motor cycle accident. For the most part, I did like it but there were just too many things that didn't add up which leads to the 2 star rating.Brady started crushing on Aaron almost as soon as she met him but with him being her best friends brother, he was off limits. She can't have a relationship with someone that basically disappeared for 10 years and hurt her best friend like he did.  Now she is getting all of these strange text messages and gifts after she has lunch with him., are they from him even though he claims that they  aren't?First this story goes back to the beginning of story 1 when Brandy  first met Aaron at the party so you don't find out what happened with Brandy's accident  until 70% into the book.  I appreciate that the author didn't re-hash everything which would make it boring but to add a whole other element of what was going on with Brady didn't work for me.  It would have if any of it was mentioned in book 1 because we would  have known that something was off but we were only led to believe that she was sneaking off with Aaron while Gabby was with Jason.  There were parties and things that Brandy and Gabby went to in this one that never happened in book 1 and the big break up between Gabby and Jason in book 1 was never mentioned in this book even though the two story's crossed.  I understand that the idea of this book wasn't fully thought out when writing book 1 but you can't go back that far and not have them mesh at all. It doesn't work.There were so many other things but I won't bore you with the details but another major issue that I had was with the Kindle download itself. I thought at first that it was because I was reading it on my phone but then it also happened on my iPad. When a word ended with a hyphen at the end of a page the rest of the sentence was gone from the next page. You could make your text smaller or larger to find it but that was a real pain.I'm not sure that I will purchase Lily's story when it comes out. Sorry but after strikes I'm not wasting any more money on this series.
