Review: some good, some bad
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book isn't in American English, so some of the phrases and words were a bit confusing to me, but I was still able to get through the book okay. This story is different. Not just because of the writing language, but over all. You have an abused heroine which tugged at my heart. I felt so bad for Jamie-LeaThen Jason comes along and tries to make her see that she is worth so much more than she thinks. I really wanted to love this book, but only liked it instead. If you have a problem with over protectiveness, (if you want to call it that) then don't read this. I was beyond pissed at how her brothers treated her! I mean, I get protecting your sister, but they crossed a line. Taking her food, physically abusing her, turning a blind eye to one of the brother's "best friends" and his hands on her?? Uncalled for!The main thing that got me through this book, was I kept hoping that Jamie-Lea, with the help of Jason, would finally stand up for herself. I also liked the fact that they were friends, and he took it super slow with her. It wasn't rushed, pushed or instant love at first sight, etc.It was also confusing at times, as it jumped from scene to scene without an in-between of how they got there. It jest seemed to skip a bunch of stuff, which made me go back and re-read it but it didn't help, just left me feeling like, what? weren't they just there, doing this, and now poof, they're here, doing that?There were a few misuses of words/grammar, but far better than some I've read, given that some of the phrases/words weren't familiar to me.Overall, a good book, not too slow, not too fast, I didn't read it as quick as I do some books, but didn't feel like it dragged on either.
