I found this story very juvenile. I don't mean in a YA sort of way. I've never read this others books, which seems to be all the rage in everyone else's reviews. To me, I found it annoying that each chapter started with stuff like.. 5 years before Mark married or Coffee: cold. To me, that's all things that would normally go into the story, and if you felt you had to explain it to me before I read, then you're not writing the type of story I want to read.The "sex" was just, I mean, how do I say this and not be rude. The way Brendan talks about "squirting", yes, you were able to portray a college guy. But, it did nothing to interest me, the reader. I'm all for erotic, but that was just, crude.The only reason this gets 3 stars is because when expressing pain, the author did well. I felt Annie's emotions. I could feel what she was going through. The betrayal, the pain. That was conveyed really well and this book's only saving grace.But then the end, it just stops. I felt like it was a waste and why would I go buy another book? There was really no back story on these two characters. Where did they come from, who were they? Other than Brendan's failed relationship, you get nothing. It made it hard to connect to these two people. The rest of the series, book, whatever, may be good, but I don't feel I would waste my time with it, when this one left me feeling deflated and bored. I wouldn't waste my time recommending this either.
