Written by Tash MOriginally posted on confessionsfromromaholics dot comCopy  provided kindly by publisher for reviewA year abroad in Scotland for her junior year seems the perfect answer for Jordan. Boyfriend less for the last two years she decides to stop waiting for Mr Right and find Mr Right for now. Throw me a barf bag here. Why promote this in the first place as it will only cause heartache and problems. But if you think in context, she probably doesn't have her head screw on right.  And the book does live up to that expectation and you probably will be thinking that someone got a lucky escape.Told in space of few months, the book starts on way to the college, she meets two very different guys on the train who both happen to be from America like her. Griffin who Jordan immediately pegs him as a player, however he is a nice guy and she willing to overlook his flaw for her purposes as he genuinely wants to get to know her and lays down the cards. The perfect Mr Right for her year abroad and who doesn't want an attachment like her and she decides to take up his offer .But enter what seems Mr Right, Noah who she happens to crash into on the way to the loo. The guy who she happens gets locked in with and starts having conversation and realise that they have a lot in common.  The guy she happens to have a life changing kiss with. Now she got a problem who to choice but she decides to stick with her plans for the year and stay with her first choice Griffin as he there for her. As  the decision is take out of her hand, Noah looks likes he has girlfriend with him and that means totally off limits.But what if fate had other plans... and it won't be easy as it seem on paper.I struggled with this book not the plot but the way the book is written. It the style more than anything as the author writes these characters in such a way that you root for the person you think most logically she shouldn't end up with. Jordan has two guys she can choose from . One offers her a potentially forever and you would assume that it would the logical choice but he only offers scraps to her and got a girlfriend. The other offers only now and promises nothing for the future.  Jordan is  stuck in the middle and she can't deal with the problems. Her reasoning is to go sulk and avoid the problem... It drove me batty with Jordan's moods and the guys doing nothing.I leave you with her  favourite quote. She should of followed this, everything would of been so much better!E. M. Forster -It is not possible to love and to part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: Love is eternal.3 couples
