"I want to live the truth. And you're my truth." 
 I withheld my review until the release hype was over, simply because I didn't want to be a Betty Downer. I expected a different story when reading the synopsis and teasers - don't get me wrong, the story was okay, her writing flowed, but it wasn't like My Skylar or Stepbrother Dearest wow. 
 I adored Sevin. He is everything I wish for when reading about a guy in books, not so much Evangeline. 
 "Look how you react to me. Just a simple touch. You think we can stop this? Neither one of us can resist each other." 
 Until around 75% I loved this book and it would have been a straight 4 - 4.5-star read for me.... if Evangeline hadn't decided to turn Sevin's and my reader life upside down. After that, I kinda lost my earlier enthusiasm about the book. I still loved Sevin, though, but besides feeling sorry for him and being annoyed, angered and very frustrated by Evangeline's poor judgement, decisions and ugh, just everything, I couldn't further sympathize with the story. 
 Needless to say, the last 25% of the book were a downer and I wished it'd have been different. Penelope is and will alway be one of my favorite authors and her books are def top of my recommendations - just not this one. 
 But please don't let my review hinder you from picking this book up. Sevin is def worth meeting ;)
