Aria is just your average girl who is finishing school and dealing with a loser ex boyfriend Doug who just wanted to sleep with her. He even turns up at her house in the dead of night drunk and tries to take advantage of her but this mysterious guy shows up and scares him off. He is familiar and Aria feels afraid but doesn't know why. She is adopted and nearly died when she was young and has nightmares dreaming of this guy who seemed to be watching her drown and then he shows up in her back yard. She has made really bad choices when it comes to men as she seems to end up with losers who hurt her so she makes a pact not to date any in College. Her two best friends agree with her and they all make the pact together and head off to start college together. One the first day there she meets Liam, a charming handsome Irish guy and immediately the pact is forgotten and then proceeds within a few days to fall madly in love with him. The author kind of loses me here for awhile as I find it so hard to believe after her stalker experience and Doug that she can fall in love so quickly without knowing anything about Liam. Then to decide to move to Ireland to be with him and blow off college and he of course pays for her and her two friends to go. Warning bells would be going off loudly for me by now but Aria decides to go with him. Nothing is what it seems and there are a few twists but I found it hard to care about the characters though Clay had me curious. I did persevere and thought maybe the second book would clarify things more.I do read alot of YA though I am not that age group and this books is more for that genre.
