Review: 2.5 There is a such thing as too much tragedy stars!

I 'm having a hard time staying invested in the outcome of Logan and Amanda. This book ends more like mid-story versus a true cliffhanger. A trick that is supposed to excite you into speculation. Will they work it out? I don't see how things work out for Amanda and Logan from here. I've been invested in the series since book 1 where Jack and Mickey stole my heart despite the over the top tragedy Mickey needed to overcome to score her golden boy.The author has a tendency to have her small group of characters suffer monumental heartbreak and personal tragedy to get their true love. I don't have a problem with characters overcoming said heartbreak, abuse, tragedy to really work for that love story. Some of those stories are in my top reads of all time. However, this continuation/start of new characters book was left unfinished in a way that makes readers question why they are spending time and money on this story.I was able to finish this book and feel connected to Amanda despite the rushed ending and cheesy epilogue. The preview of book 3 has me hoping Amanda has moved on without the threat of Logan returning home to ruin her a third time. The girl has been[SPOILER]beaten almost raped, date raped and photographed with the pics sent around, her dad ditched them with no goodbye, her twin brother gets run over saving her life in a rain storm, dumped by two guys and works like a boss to pay for school and (end spoiler) and that's how we end her story? I can't and you shouldn't. Wait for book 3 before reading this book. The early chapters may redeem the utter hopelessness you are left with here
