Review: It's a romance book

And it's pretty much romantic right from the start. I have a hard time bying into the whole I saw you and loved you and now we have an instant relationship sort of thing and that's kind of how this book goes even with the degree of dysfunctional. But I let myself go along for the ride until the big reveal. I could tolerate the jealousy and whining of Carissa until that point because it was minimal. That behavior is such a turn off to me that it literally makes the women unlikable (and the men who do it too). It's not sexy by any stretch of the imagination for me.But the post reveal reaction left me thinking thank goodness he can finally be rid of her. I mean holy childish. Like that wasn't a lot of info for Jesse to absorb but then she acts like an absolute child because he didn't decide to talk about it right away. Talk about the universe revolving around her... grow up and get over it lady. Which made her absolutely completely and intolerably unlikeable for me. I kept reading because I didn't mind him. He was a redeemable character for me and had the patience of an absolute saint dealing with her.I would like this book more if I found her more sympathetic and that's strictly a personality thing. Lots of people probably will find her sympathetic but I couldn't. I was actually excited when it looked like it wouldn't work out.
