I wasn't feeling sure about how I am going to rate and judge this book. 
 To solve that problem, I am going to go point by point. 
 Plot- A very typical one with some minor changes here and there. (3-stars) 
 Execution- The benefit of having a same old plot is that you have a multitude of examples to consult but you also run the risk of appearing cliched and boring if you don't freshen up the plot a bit. 
 Emma Chase seems to have channeled her most popular character, Drew, into Jake here. He's shown to be a carefree, tough and hard-working guy (very typical) with an amusingly crude thinking at times. 
 There is nothing very new here but it felt okay. So since Goodreads suggests 2 stars for when you find something just 'okay', I am giving it that (2-stars). 
 Writing- You can accuse Emma Chase of anything but bad writing. She's logical, pithy and clear in hear head about what she wants from the story. Admirable. 
 (4-stars) 
 Characters- The 6 McQuaid kids are amazing. If I ever met them in person, I am sure I'll love them. :D (And I am sure I'll have a riot doing stupid, crazy, dumbass things with them ). Chelsea and Jake dilute the greatness of the kids a bit. (3-stars) 
 So I am at the end of the review and it seems the ratings average out to be exactly 3. I guess that's the rating then. I liked the book. A great read but I doubt I'll be going back to it.
