If this book was recommended to you b/c you liked "Thoughtless", forget about it.  "All the wrong reasons" is a very poor imitation.  The plot very closely resembles "Thoughtless" but the writing is far more juvenile, the characters aren't fleshed out at all, it is hard to feel any sort of connection to any of them.  The heroine is a selfish, immature, gutless girl and *Spoiler* sleeps with the hero on their first meeting without so much as a conversation beforehand.  Yet she supposedly loves her BF.  Also, the author set it up poorly, we had no introduction to the BF until after h meets and sleeps with H. So we don't get the full sense of her betrayal.  Irelyn doesn't really seem to feel too guilty as she then sleeps with Lucas (H) literally every week but she isn't really having a sexual relationship with her BF for most of the book anyway. (She sleeps with him once).  And he doesn't seem to mind AT ALL that she has a BF and that he is the OM.Although I disliked Keira from Thoughtless, I pretty much hated this heroine, Irelyn.  It's probably just bad writing, but she never seemed to love Dustin, we saw no sweet moments b/t them, and we also don't really see that she feels very guilty.  There's also no real fear of her being caught b/c her BF goes to a different school in a different city.  If the main theme of a book is cheating, there should be some element of fear of being caught red-handed, if nothing else it provides a sense of stress or excitement, this book is lacking both.  TBH, I didn't care what happened to any of these people and I disliked the h so much that she didn't even deserve her happy ending. Stick w/ "Thoughtless" and don't waste your time or money on this book.
