I devoured this book in a matter of hours. It was full of passion, emotion, trauma, and craziness and I couldn't put it down.It's difficult to put into words how I feel about the book. In some ways, it was a complete and utter train wreck. In other ways, it was full of love and passion. The characters are great and terrible at the same time and constantly made terrible decisions that I both hated and understood. It was an edgy read because the characters and scenarios resembled real life and watching people drink themselves silly and make terrible decisions was nerve wracking. But the characters aren't completely terrible that they are annoying. They all have redeeming qualities. Which is why it was so frustrating!Fans of Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire will probably love this book. It's full of that kind of edgy, nerve wracking train wreck passion. Terrible things happen to Jaq, but she's resilient and even when she's making terrible decisions, she's feisty and wonderful. There are heartbreaking moments and steamy moments and it was the kind of book that tugs you every which way. I definitely recommend it to fans of the New Adult Contemporary genre. It's a relatively new term, but this book fits right in as an edgy and mature story involving young characters trying to begin their lives as adults.I loved the Dedication:"Dedicated to fans of fast cars and hot men, and the men and women everywhere who like to read about them."
