I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down! Julia story is a familiar one; a romance that ended badly by a boyfriend who was cruel and insensitive.  Struggling to get over her relationship with Liam and how badly it ended she decides revenge will give her the closure she needs.What's great about this book is that we watch Julia grow and mature as she realizes revenge may not bring her what she needs.  As she struggles with leaving the hurt behind her she meets Jesse.  Jessie and Julia's romance begins to take over and for a it's as if she's living two separate lives; one mired in a quest for revenge and the other going forward in a blossoming romance. Jessie was smart, funny and adorable  and the perfect match for Julia.The author also did an excellent job of not man-bashing and in many ways demonstrated that both men and women get hurt in relationships.  The characters are rich and realistic and unlike many YA books the author does drown you in angst. Julia is strong and smart and ultimately it's these characteristics that allow her to choose the best path.
