Wow, this is one book that just sucks you in and doesn't let you go! I enjoy reading quite a few different authors' new adult romances. I like romances that feel really real - you know, not just some mushy, unrealistic garbage.Well, this book is real! I could really believe the characters and I found myself engrossed in the story. I alternately hated and loved Allie and Zac. Joel got on my nerves, I just wanted to slap him straight, but I understand Allie's reaction. I think any big sister can relate to how she feels, especially now that her mom died and she's responsible for him. I hope for her sake that he straightens out.I really felt for Allie. Her life is all too real. Working hard, only to have things taken away from you. I can feel her stress over her job situation. Anyone who's ever been out of a job can relate to how she feels.As for Zac, well, I'm still undecided. Sometimes, he behaves really strangely. I wonder what's going on behind that. Allie says she sees a "haunted" look in his eyes sometimes, and I guess that's related to his behavior, but I'm really looking forward to finding out the truth about him.
