When I first started reading Rebel, I laughed out loud. Because the situations Teagan found herself in were humorous. Which led me to believe this was going to be a great book. Teagan is used to having money, but when her father suddenly dies, she loses her money train and has to actually take care of herself. (gasp!) This annoyed me a little because she couldn't care less that her dad died, just that she lost his money and it's made her life harder. She goes around looking for jobs, finally finding one at a mechanic's shop where she meets Rebel. I really did not see a connection between Rebel and Teagan. Rebel hardly ever talked and it took 3/4 of the book before anything happened between the two of them, and when it does, Rebel leaves Teagan naked because he all of a sudden can't go through with sleeping with her. I'm not even sure if it was ever explained why he even did that. If it was, it wasn't clear enough for my brain to be like, "Oh okay, I get it now." When they do finally sleep together, it's when Teagan's been drinking all night, though supposedly she sobers up right away. Realistic? No. From that point on they're a couple, which is just the last half of the book. I don't know. I just didn't feel any excitement about the two of them being together. Teagan is also very insecure and constantly compares herself to a woman she's seen Rebel around, which grew annoying. That humor I originally loved, turned out to be overwhelming and overdone. There's a thin line between being funny and being immature. Teagan and her best friend's reactions to things made me think of two immature girls who squeal and are overly loud to get attention. You know those type of girls. *rolls eyes*  The first half of the book was really good, the other half...eh.
