I'm disappointed that the h gets intimate with the H before any commitment (AKA known as marriage), $since they were being so respectful of one another. All the young impressionable reader's out there are assuming that you just hold off on sex until you "feel" it's right. But you hold off because it's morally correct to do so...b/c purity is a strength in life and sex is sacred. Her regrets about Alex would never have happened had she stayed pure--even thinking she was in love.  GUYS like Alex would have moved on. That's one really good way to know if someone truly loves you. God is an expert psychologist among His many other attributes.In this story you assume she and Jesse will marry someday, but in real life people grow apart or change, and then you're left with another tragically broken intimate relationship.All in all, it was a good story. I expected a lot of angst in this one , but it was very believable and well- paced. I'm glad to know there a third book, but not happy to have to wait, since this was a sad one..Once again, I hate someone saying "I love you", and using each other without commitment. It happens all the time in the real world and I don't find it romantic. Neither his nor her parents ever taught them how to live godly lives, which mirrors society, so the author captured our times very well.I recommend books like "Vain" or "beyond Broken" for heroines that try to orient their lives and romances on a higher level.Still, this was a good read, and I enjoyed it. I'd recommend this author and will look into her other books.
