I will admit up front that I'm not a fan of romance novels centered on teenagers.  Generally the authors struggle to put too many adult feelings and emotions into characters too young and inexperienced to create a geniune raport with the reader.  HOWEVER, this novel didn't suffer that same fate.  I didn't feel like this author tried to make the characters more mature at all -- if you overlook the amount of partying they had done "when they were younger" as in 16 or so.The characters are immature and flighty.  There isn't anything about any of the characters that bonds with the reader and that makes it extremely hard to push through some of the scenes that are especially slow.  Add the reader's indifference as to the fate of the characters involved to the difficulty getting past the lack of editing and it's a tough book to read.  Another reviewer mentioned my favorite editing issue when the author writes that they "switched rolls."  There was no bread involved, just poor spelling and editing.  But that was just a drop in the bucket when it came to misused words and patchy proof-reading.This book was more work than it was worth and I gave up somewhere in chapter 6 -- which was when I realized that I'd been waiting for it to "pick up" since the very first chapter....Some people might be able to get past my issues, which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of just 1... but I couldn't do it.
