Rating: 2 out of 5

*****POSSIBLE SPOILERS*****I really hate giving this book two stars, but it's a must.  I don't think I have ever disliked a heroine as much as I dislike Layla.  She was completely out of control in this book.  I purchased this awhile back, but have put off reading it because I am not Team Oliver.  From some things I saw here and there, I thought I knew how this was going to go.  Boy was I wrong.  First off, the book picks up with her catching a plane to NY to be with Jared who she picked with her gut instinct.  Their relationship, 96% of this book, is them arguing.  And on top of that, it's the same argument they've been having since day one.  She wants Jared to trust her and practically forgive everything in her past because "I choose you," but Jared has every right to be cautious and bottom line: he is only looking out for her safety and protection.  You say you choose him, but yet you see that piece of paper and start to packing.  Layla however, is too whiney, b*tchy, self-righteous to meet him half way on anything or respect his wishes.  She claims he keeps treating her like a child, but when you act like that it's kind of hard not to.  I'm really not sure what Jared sees in her or why he is so hung up on her.  He deserves someone with a higher maturity level and someone who was actually taught some decency and manners.  Not Layla.  I think the right decision was made in the end, while I'm terribly heartbroken for Jared.  And poor Daniel- to be talked to like that from doing your job and then letting her get away.  Say, good riddance and leave, don't act all mopey because you can't do your job.Points go to Oliver, though, for being an a-hole to her majority of the time in the book.  It was written all over Layla from day one where she would rather be and who she would rather be with.  I'm not sure if I'll read the third book, I would like to know the end though.
