So, there were bits of this book I really liked. The meet-cute, most of the romantic relationship, the best friend, the way our heroine doesn't put up with any s*** from West. But other bits were just weird, like the twin hate (maybe it could have been better established, especially with regards to the parents who just believed Abby without question when she listed Annika's crimes and shrugged off her saying she hated her sister), West's random violence (it's good that Abby gets freaked out by it, less comforting that she's so hesitant to properly get away), and Tana's odd roommate (I refuse to believe the America dorm system is so busted that "her boyfriend lives here, they're constantly having sex and also guns everywhere" (leaving aside the hate for antidepressants, because that's just uncool) wouldn't see her moved to a different room. Or the dorm mate out - one well-placed "I feel uncomfortable around him" should have seen the problem solved).The writing itself was much better than the average, but the pacing, or something was off. Maybe a better editor would have produced a better book.
