I'm not sure how to write this review. I had a lot of high hopes for this book. I heard good things about it. I went into it expecting a lot of good things. I did get a lot, but not of the things I wanted.From a character standpoint, Denver, the main female character, is one of the most annoying I've ever read. I can't think of positive things to say and that pains me. She was insecure to a fault, beyond any comprehension. Her perception of herself was flawed, which was fine. I get that, but it wasn't only flawed, it made no sense. She clung to ideas about herself that were so false and so hard to believe that I had trouble getting over it. She was just....awful.Then we have Greer. I loved Greer in the beginning of the book. He was sweet, he cared about Denver, he was thoughtful. Then he did something so awful, so abhorrent, so disgusting, he ruined it. He made the whole entire beginning of the book feel like a lie. I literally can't discuss Greer anymore.Ransom...I don't know where to begin with Ransom. I hated him. He was cocky. He was a jerk (which isn't a strong enough word). He had ridiculous double standards that upset me to no end. Then, Greer does what he did. And suddenly Ransom was the knight in shining armor. He was thoughtful, compassionate, concerned, devoted. It was like Greer and Ransom switched and I was left with a spinning head.There were good parts of the story. But they were outweighed by things that just...annoyed me. I can't get over them. I'm left feeling disappointed and confused.
