There is something about a tattooed boy that gets me. I didn't have many thoughts about Kit after reading Misbehaving, but since I enjoy Abbi Glines I picked up this book.Krit is the lead singer of a band and a hit with the ladies. He sleeps with a lot of them whenever he wants. Then he meets Blythe. Sweet, innocent Blythe. She has had a bad childhood and thinks there is something wrong with her. She doesn't think she is pretty or nice or worthy of someone like Krit. Krit doesn't think he is worthy of someone like Blythe. Krit shows Blythe his good side, something he doesn't let many people see. She sticks up for him with everyone because she knows he is a good person. It was really sweet and just made Krit fall for her more. He had a bad upbringing as well and never really had anyone take a stand for him like that.When things started out they were both trying to be just friends. Blythe went on a few dates with Linc who creeped me out. Something was off with him, more so than what was revealed. Yes he had secretes, which were pretty obvious, but there was something else. I kept waiting for him to turn into this horrible scary guy, but he never did. I don't know what it was but he was not right.The big surprise at the end I found really obvious as well. Krit and Blythe had a few things to deal with and work out. Blythe was a little lame when she found out what was happening in Krit's life, but of course everything gets worked out in the end. While it seemed pretty obvious what was happening, or going to happen, I still enjoyed the story.What I didn't like? Krit seems to have some issues. He is obsessed with Blythe, and some of his obsession is not in a healthy way. They don't really address that very much. He might start taking his pills again, but it is not really...he just is a little too intense. I don't actually see it working out with them long term until he figures out his issues and can have a more normal, healthy relationship. That is the one thing that bugged me. It just seemed like he would smother Blythe and like he can't do anything without her. I don't know. It bugged me it wasn't really addressed and it just ended happily ever after. Still a good read.This review was originally posted to Jen in Bookland
