This book started out pretty rough and was a tough one to get into. The dialogue especially, just didn't ring true with me. It noticeably improved at some points and at others I had to read and re-read to make sense of what a character was saying.Many typos and the inconsistencies were a bit much. One that stood out and had me screaming on my couch was "LVU", or, "Las Vegas University", I presume? Yeah,.... doesn't exist. But a few pages later, the school is referred to as "ULV"....Close Ms. Brown, very close.And coming from the airport, there's no need to take 15 to get there. *shrugs* I'm a dick about my city; a bit of research goes a long way.ANYWAY. Spoilers, people.... watch out.I actually liked the characters! I felt the story between Cara & Jason was way too rushed though. They were together maybe one or two nights and things go from there. At least in the usual "guy with deep rooted issues finds girl to obsess over" stories, it takes 4 days to a week for them to form that bond. This just needed more to it than what we were given. Also, Cara gave into him way too easily at times when I felt she should be freaking out. Paintball with Stacey? Oh hell no....The secretive "did they or didn't they?" between Mila and Jason? Didn't really like that, and as the reader I was still giving Mila some serious side eye in my head, even after the air was cleared. I still thought that ho was shady. I probably have never laughed as loud at a line as I did when Cara said "You are the dirtiest b*tch....." I lost it.I absolutely loved Chelsea and secretly wish for a BFF just like her and the interesting addition of Chase is great, but he's under-used. Let them fight it out!!The ending is OUTRAGEOUS, but I definitely expected that to be the case with Abigail. Did not see the plot line involving Heather coming at all! This author certainly has her work cut out for her. I really don't see how one could bounce back from that!Solid 2.5. Worth a try if you can get through it. I'm definitely curious enough to read the second book, due out next month.
