Rating: 3 out of 5

What a hard book to review!  The storyline was really interesting and suspenseful, even if it was obvious who the bad guy was right away.  The characters were well developed and the chemistry between Spencer and Sophie was hot!  But there were so many times the characters responses seemed off to me that it really distracted me from completely enjoying this book.  A few of the biggest ones for me:Sophie and Spencer are both 17 and in high school.  They go on a date and end up kissing at the end.  Sophie's mother catches them and gives Sophie a lecture about how "good girls don't do inappropriate things like kiss".  Huh?  Guess I never got that memo.Not long after that Sophie's father catches Sophie and Spencer making out on the couch.  Not just sitting and kissing but with Spencer laying on top of Sophie.  Sophie's father is outraged but Sophie's mother defends her.  (Maybe laying down and kissing is more appropriate to Sophie's mom than standing up and kissing is??)Spencer had his heart broken by Aimee when she cheated on him with his older brother, Jamie.  How old were they?  15!  Jamie lives with his father and step-mother but moves Aimee in with him.  Into his bedroom.  How old is she?  15!  All the adults seem fine with this because "Aimee just does what she wants to."There are several times when Spencer's mom talks to Sophie about her intentions with Spencer.  She doesn't want his heart broken again like it had been at 15.  Is Sophie really serious?  She's not planning on leaving him, is she?  Uh..  these are 17-year old kids in high school...I could go on and on with this list but I'll spare you!  Unfortunately the amount of times I was scratching my head was frequent enough and bothered me enough to warrant taking away 2 stars.
