Let me just say that this book was not what I was expecting at all. 
 This story is about prissy girl Theresa or Tessa who starts her first year of college and meets a tattooed group of people that she starts to hang out with. They are nothing like her, especially Hardin. The boy who drives her crazy, says cruel things to her, and makes her cry. Yet, wherever she goes there he is. 
 First let me say that I had a big problem with Tessa throughout this book. She started off very judgmental of her roommate Steph and her tatted group of friends. But I guess when you're preppy like her I guess she would be like that. Still, I got over it. Another issue with her is that she was so naive and nosy. I know, I know, these characteristics goes with her inexperience in pretty much every experience she has at college. But come on. I did slowly start to like Tessa throughout the story although I still felt like I knew nothing about her character and so much about Hardin. As her relationship with Hardin progressed I was annoyed that she put up with Hardins tantrums and him talking crazy to her. But she just kept forgiving him and going back. I mean I love me some soap opera drama, but jeezus. oh and her serious jealousy and insecurity issues were downright annoying the shit outta me. 
 Hardin is a whole nother story all together. I actually do not hate his character. Obviously he is messed up and hurts the people he cares about due to his messed up childhood. He did get better or should I say Tessa made him better and I liked his growth throughout the story as he opened up to Tessa. Hardin had some things about him that I liked and there was definitely more to him than meets the eye. 
 This was a love story full of drama between and damaged angry boy and an naive and inexperienced girl. I cannot even keep count of how many times Hardin did something cruel to Tessa and she ended up forgiving him. Even if she loved him I would not have put up with that. I enjoyed watching their relationship progress and it does get very steamy and hot between these two. But I will say that I was so confused at where this book was headed, but once I got to the end I did not see that coming. It literally broke my heart and brought me to tears thinking about how Tessa would be feeling in that moment. OMG that ending, you just don't even know how heartbreaking it was. 
 I will end this by saying I did enjoy this book very much. I just wanted to keep reading and see what kind of drama would unfold between these two. I liked that I could see this being a realistic and sad true story. I look forward to seeing where this story goes.
