Actual rating 2.5 stars 
 This is kind of a difficult novel to review for me because on one hand I liked it, but on the other, I just was so infuriated at parts and wanted to smack the lead character, Molly. I had read some reviews prior to reading this novel and was a little worried because I saw that cheating was a huge part of the story. And I will back up what other reviews say, cheating is a part of this and plays a role in the conclusion of the novel, but I wouldn't say it's a HUGE part. Honestly, that wasn't even the part that bothered me about the book. 
 Let me start with what I did like. The writing was very good (there were a couple mistakes, mostly punctuation, but I was reading an ARC so that's to be expected). Katie Cotugno has written a very good coming of age story where you watch the lead character grow over the course of the novel. It has some twists, but at the end is a solid read. The redeeming part of this novel was that by the end, Molly learned from her mistakes and grew because of them. 
 That being said, Molly's character in general is where I find a large fault in the book. Molly was a very difficult character for me to like. At first, I was liking her, but her actions throughout the story drove me insane so many times, and as I said, I wanted to smack Molly. She complains that no one is showing her respect (and they weren't...they were rude and ridiculous because it takes 2 people to do what Molly and Gabe did; and Gabe certainly wasn't catching any flak for what happened between them), and that she doesn't deserve any of the hate that is thrown her way. She also claims that she doesn't want to make the same mistake that she did before. But what does she do? Make the EXACT SAME MISTAKE. I hated that she kept going back and forth between Patrick and Gabe. Molly obviously realized what she was doing because she was conflicted about her feelings. She even repeatedly says when hooking up with Patrick behind Gabe's back that "They shouldn't be doing this." Did that stop her...no, of course not. When everything comes out (again), she runs, just like the first time. This annoyed me to no end, but I guess I can understand it. Molly didn't know what else to do, and so she fell back on what she knew best. Obviously, just like the first mistake, it takes 2 to do what Patrick and Molly did, which is why I find fault with both of them. But Molly more or less encouraged Patrick to continue on their little affair even though she knew it was wrong. 
 Molly does learn from her mistakes a bit by the end, and she does stand up for herself. I feel like she really should have stood up for herself earlier on too, but at least by the end she grew somewhat of a backbone. I know it seems like I hated this book, but I honestly didn't. It was good, and I liked it. But it's definitely not my favorite. You'll probably get frustrated with Molly, and it'll either drive you up the wall or you'll just get used to it. I don't know if I would recommend it, but I think a lot of people will enjoy the story. It just wasn't my cup of tea. 
 Happy reading :)
