** spoiler alert **I originally had a hateful review for this one, but I accidentally closed it without saving it. Then I thought it might be a sign that I should tone it down a bit.It was another bad book I forced myself to finished this year. I downloaded the book free from Amazon. It was okay at first. Just at first because later I really frustrated with this book. I started to get a glimpse of Quince's personality but everything she did along the story was off. It's like she did things out of her character and her thoughts were weird. She liked to stated the obvious. Something should left out, like she ended one sentence with 'I answered it sarcastically'. When one is being sarcastic there is no need to say it. The essay she wrote about who influenced her. She wrote about her family. Which was a lie. None of what she said about them in the essay described her family she let the reader knew toward the story. Quince was appalled when she had to let Brody see her in swimming suit. They had sex twice by that point. So...The writer didn't show what was going on. She just used words to say it. It made this book boring. Dialogues were unrealistic. The used of words was not suitable to the situation. She did say twice that she didn't have this fun before. She was shocked that Declan brought her water. Appreciate maybe? Why was she shocked. I don't understand. He knew her by then what she like to drink. Did someone shock when a guy brought you your choice of favorite drink.When Quince asked Brody what did he like about her. He told her he liked everything about her. Well, I didn't see anything about her worth liking. Later he told her what did he like about her which was just how she look not her personality. He just liked her from the moment he laid eye on her but they didn't even talk. They didn't get to know each other. And she was so busy wondering why boys interested it her because she wasn't that beautiful. And Brody was all 'I don't deserve you but I can't stay away from you'. Meh!When Brody told her about his ex girlfriend cheating on him she had a nerve to thought that how could one cheating on him. I laughed. She practically cheating on him at the moment. She got jealous when she saw him with other girls. Well, she could 'talk' with two guys at the same time but he couldn't? It was obvious from the start who she was going to pick. Come on, since when mister perfect nice guy who didn't see what was going on is going to get the girl. It had to be hot guy who didn't even need to have a conversation and they fell in love. When did they know each other enough to fall in love? Meh!Quince didn't want to hurt Declan so she didn't tell him about Brody. Of course he found out the hard way. It was pretty much that Quince chose Brody but when she received a call about her sister, Brody asked what did she need, what he could do for her. She just said 'Declan'. You have got to be kidding me. You gave your virginity to one guy but when you want comfort you want another guy?When she told Declan she going to take a break next year he supported her but Brody begged her to stay. She left anyway. Eight months later she went back. They met and he told her he hated her and started to leave she told him she chose him. The epilogue was about he asked her to go out with him. I can't help thinking that all of the drama could be avoided if she told Declan from the start that the other person was Brody. Brody should man up from the start as well and told her that he liked her. This guy was just hot and that's all. What a waste of time. I have zero emotional feeling toward this book except irritated. Everything happened via what the author told not show.I saw that there are sequels. One book was one too much. I had enough.
