If only!!!If only I had not cried during half of this!If only I had not fallen for BOTH guys in this book! ACKIf only this book wouldn’t have ended!If only I hadn’t read this book so fast!!If only A.J. Pine had more books so I could at least feel like I wasn’t missing something!Ohhh… I want to say so much about this book! There’s so much to this story and so much happens from the 3/4 point on! I will make sure to not add in spoilers but damn! It’s going to be tough to review this one. Seriously!Wow. I’m actually kind of speechless.Maybe not… Ok, first let’s talk characters. LOVE them! I love them. I cannot get enough. I want so much more about each of the characters. Not only the lead characters but the side characters too. I’m in love with Sam even though she isn’t really even IN the book! She’s a best friend that is across the ocean and even though she’s in very little of this she makes such a huge presence!The men… There are some great guys in this. Like Jordan I was curious if the guys she meets are players. I was left thinking yes to certain guys (I cannot name them!!! IT’s killing me!) and then I would swing back the other way and like a guy and then swing back. Yes I feel like a pendulum but I really wasn’t sure who I wanted Jordan to be with the most! Griffin and Noah both seem so fabulous and then they both seem like such jerks. It was like torture! By the end I knew who I liked but I want more from the other guy too… I really don’t want his story to end!And then there is Jordan. She’s not your normal “Oh my I’m a damsel in distress and I am looking for a big, strong man to help me with my virginity” and thank goodness for that! But what she is is a confused gal that is trying to find her way in this world. Like most of us! I loved her story even though she has to go through a bit of crap to figure things out. Half the book she’s crying and I’m crying with her.And then the quotes… I love when authors quote other books and movies, but especially books and movies that I love and A.J. Pine freaking NAILED this! Every reference I clung even closer to the story so by the end it’s amazing that I can even let go.Well… I haven’t yet. I think I’m in denial about that letting go bit. I need more A.J.
