If Charley wasn't so annoying in her lack of decision making here, I would have rated this higher. I'm actually disappointed in all of the unnecessary angst in this second and final book, as I absolutely adore Sam Young as a writer of NA. She is one of those authors that I wait, impatiently and eagerly for her next book release. And I've re-read several of her books in the Dublin Street series, but Charley's indecision and poor choices *almost* ruined this one for me. Thank god for Jake, and of course for Beck and Claudia (and sexy Lowe too!) or I may have given up on this one.
