One star for the story and another star for that awesome cover. 
 1. Promising start but when she started reading 'the book inside this book, ' it became increasingly predictable. 
 2. Jase - seriously? That's your lame-ass way of reuniting with Em? 
 3. That reunion? I mean, that's the reunion? Like seriously, THAT'S IT? 
 4. Em unable to finish the book like a normal book geek - jeez, this isn't Lonesome Dove or House of Leaves love'. 
 This isn't the Lord of the Rings trilogy either...ugh. 
 I mean, I get that she's emotional and shit because that's her life story but seriously? Again - awfully predictable and annoying AF. 
 5. Staying with Trevor is cruel, tbh. 
 6. Jase is nothing like the 'book inside the book' - Well, Em said it best - it's not them. 
 This is the author's most YA'ish work and it just didn't work for me. It's nowhere near the Sweet Thing, Nowhere But Here, After the Rain and that super lovely Before We Were Strangers... 
 I feel bad for giving the story a single star but that's just it...it's a totally one star story.
