Ok, so maybe this isn't fair of me, but technically this book was between 2 and 2.5 stars for me. I just don't like Emma. She showed some redeeming qualities in the middle of the book, but from the start she just seemed so insecure, whiny, and annoying. Surprisingly, for a movie start Paul was actually tame and sort of likeable, but at the same time boring. The story just felt sort of flat to me. I'm still not sure what Jessie and Zach were trying to accomplish with some of their discussions with her. It was actually really strange to read that Jessie and Emma were best friends, but not "those kind of friends" when it came to intimacy or caring...for God's sake, she was surprised when Jessie kissed her head and gave her advice to try with Paul in LA. How can that relationship be described as BFFs? And what was the deal with her and Craig? She seemed to miss the signals on that one too, and yet she was completely unhappy with him, her life, her town, but unwilling to do anything about it.I'm sorry everyone, but I just didn't quite feel this one. I have read some of the reviews for the remaining books and they seem to get better, but I don't know if I want to spend the money when this one just didn't gel with me.
