2.5 stars 
 I went into this book intrigued with the concept. Basically, over the course of the trilogy we will be hearing about the same senior trip from the POVs of three former best friends. Book 1 is Lyla's story. 
 Unfortunately, I didn't like Lyla. She came off to me as childish and selfish and her character made me want to cringe. I was hoping that this would be a situation similar to Sam in Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall, where the character would go through significant revelations about herself and changes by the end -- thus, becoming more likable. And she did, a little. But still not my favorite person. I'm glad that the other two stories will not be through her eyes. 
 But I loved the tension between Lyla and Beckett. It was sweet and hot and so delicious! The scenes between the two of them were fantastic, every time. I also appreciated that this was a light and fast read. I blissfully read through it in one evening.
