I don't know how I managed to finish this book. 
 Note: This review may contain spoilers. 
 It was unrealistic and annoying. I just had to put it down and read it some other time. Yet, I still manage to finish it though I'm on the verge to give it up by 50%. (Yes, I have a very long patience.) Some people liked this book, sorry but this book is not the way I expected. I'm really disappointed with this book. ugghhh. my frustration kicks in. 
 Here are all my frustrations: 
 I'm completely annoyed from the very beginning of the story. What kind of mother who wouldn't protect her children from her abusive husband? I don't think so,because I believe all mothers are selfless. That abusive husband of hers SHOULD have been reported to the police earlier before he screwed up another family. (Unfortunately, he did screw another family. ridiculous) 
 Then here comes the main character, Amber Walker. She was abused and doesn't want anyone touching her aside from Jake, Liam and her mother. I don't like her because she's whiny and immature. I don't get her with all the I-don't-want-anyone-touching-me then she's making a way to be touched. (If you know what I mean.) Also, some of the main character's friends are whiny like her. These girls are *%#@@#Fj annoying! 
 The High school setting and how the students act? This is totally unbelievable. Not a good example of High school image at all. Too liberated. Not all students are like that. 
 Good points? Nice cover. I appreciate Jake & Liam somehow for being protective and sweet to Amber. That's all. I'm just happy that I'm done with this book. I love contemporary novels, but this one is just...a thumbs down for me.
