This book had so much potential.. I bought this book and gave it a try and in the end it was not for me... There were so many things I didn't like about the book..1) There were too many exclamation points for my liking and it made it seemed like they yelled a lot..2) (MY MAIN REASON FOR DISLIKING) The writing seemed immature..- For instance, the heroine says she wanted to be married with her fiance before losing her v-card and then afterwards she meets a guy and loses it to someone she doesn't know that well after she's been having a couple. she convinces him she's not drunk, he says ok and afterwards they're a couple. And even before that she wasn't sure, saying she wants to but she's not sure. So her first time just didn't seem like a good way to go about.-it seemed like Jack and her best friend Abbey were peer pressuring her. Abs was saying she needed to forget her fiance that cheated on her and just have sex already. What? I mean I understand watching out for your friend and maybe saying you hope you aren't afraid of being happy because of what he did to her... but telling her she needs to just lose her v-card? Um, no. I know she wanted to but saying you want to in your head and actually doing it is two different things. if she's not ready then she's not ready.-There was a time when she was saying she barely knew Jack and yet at the same time he's like I'm falling for you hard or something and it just made me roll my eyes. Totally didn't sound like they were on the same page yet the heroine went along with it.-The dialogue didn't seem that natural to me. It didn't flow for me which made it kinda hard and boring to read. It also seemed like I was reading about a bunch of teenagers instead of people in their 20's and 30's.- There was a point where Matt, one of the coworkers was at Chloe's place (another coworker) and he said something along the lines of "that's because you haven't came out of the closet" so it made me think she was a les. but nope she's not because she was hitting on the heroines Dad.... so it made me think maybe he said that because she was shy? She doesn't seem shy too me at all.. The opposite in fact, and I think i liked her better than the heroine. So, I didn't get that saying.- And then there was the stuff with her brother... All that would have just been easier if he told them what was going on instead of having everyone worry. Like I said, immature.- Bleu's reaction to a new character was the same every time. She thought every guy was handsome and darn near every time a new person was introduced in the book, she always says they look familiar... which I get because some of them ARE relatives of other characters she knows... but not all of them were and yet she still said it. It was annoying.- And then there's a part where Jack gives her the silent treatment because he walked in on her saying she loved him to her brother and he was mad because she didn't tell him first. Jack seemed like a pansy to me.Anywho, there were a lot of other parts that I didn't like, but the BIGGEST NO NO was towards the end..... Bleu had been worried about not getting having "that time of the month" and supposedly assumed it was stress. Then her, Abs, and Chloe go out and get obliterated and then on a drunken confession, Abs and Bleu say they think they're pregnant. WHAT?? If you even think you MIGHT be pregnant don't go drinking!!!! I don't care if you're on the pill or not!! If you think you are then don't. just don't.So.... this book *could have* been made into something great. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it.
