 3.8 
 First off let me say.... soooooo much angst in this book, and as much as I do love angsty romances.. there was just a bit too much for my taste. Also, at some parts in the book I felt like the language was a little... too descriptive? (And trust me, I LOVE descriptions, but I don't like to be choked with them). These aspects weren't as prominent as the book went on, however, and I would definitely say this book is pretty good. There were heartwrenching moments and I love the chemistry between Jared and Aly, but for a lot of the book I just wanted to be like COME ON JARED JUST UGHHHHHHH (you'll see what I mean. I do love the amount of emotion in the book and I found that the relationship between Jared and Aly was pretty unique, especially in the New Adult scene. Jared is so troubled and stubborn, and I was going back and forth between wanting to hug him and wanting to knock him on the head. All in all, this was an interesting romantic read and I look forward to reading other works by this author.
