I was super excited about this book when I first read the synopsis on the back, I liked the whole "I know what you did last summer" vibe it had going on, and I loved the idea about  triplets and the "unholy trinity". Sadly a chapter in and my excitement waned and slowly dwindled more and more as the book went on. The premise of the book was so promising,  the execution feel short though. I wanted to love it, I just couldn't.Some of my issues were, the big surprise near the end regarding her aunt came out of nowhere, and everybody was super accepting of it and the whole thing was brushed over like it was nothing. The two main characters, Aubree and Booker were supposedly in love and had feelings for each other that were never discussed before she came home from college, they went back and forth for so long, it just got annoying. It was a little hard for me to like Aubree after her big reveal to Booker about what she witnessed between him and a bully, at that point she knew what he had done for her and that his feelings lasted for years, she should have said something way before that. Lastly, at times the characters acted and spoke way beyond their years, they were supposed to be 19, yet Booker was already a best selling author. It just didn't ring true to me. I think it would have been a better choice for the author to have a few years pass before  the chain of events that sent Aubree home occur. I could have let all the negatives go had it not been the authors writting style, something about it prevented me from ever connecting with the characters and I just couldn't fully immerse myself in the story. I probably won't read the rest of the series, unless the author changes up her style of story telling.I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
