Okay, where to start.....I'll start with this book was 3.5 stars for me. It was a good book, but had some flaws that made it hard for me to really enjoy it.Beware- spoilerishThe biggest thing I didn't understand was why the F this kid stayed with Phillip or went back to him, despite other events that pulled them together. She seemed so intelligent except for every second she interacted with that douchbag. He was obviously bipolar, but she seemed confused by it, at times. He would be loving to her one second and then full on verbally abuse her, sometimes physically abuse her the next. I know she had been with him a long time, but what the f? He was a cheater, an abuser and an overall prick. Every second she was away from him, she was a very like able character. Every second she was with him, I wanted to roll my eyes on an endless loop. I get being with someone you shouldnt, but once Jaxson entered her life, that should have made her realize Phillip was a psycho piece of crap.I love Jaxon. He's obviously been through a lot, but he's clearly a different person, until little Courtney pushes him back to the dark side. I can't wait to read the second book to see where this all goes. I don't get what Jaxson's connection is with making Courtney his new Heather, but I'm sure we'll find out. What's a little frustrating though is that her being so similar to Heather is what draws him in, but what else? Other than that, what else is this 17-year-old girl offering this significantly older man? I hope more than it seems, otherwise being attracted to her because of a deceased girl from his past is a tad sick.I also want to be honest and say that this book felt a little long to me. It's not like I like short books, trust me, I appreciate details and great plots filled with twists and turns. It didn't feel that way here, it felt a little drawn out.That said, I will definitely be reading the second book to see where it goes.
