I have mixed feelings about this book... I really don't know what to say. It's a good book, there was a lot of character development, and the story overall was interesting. I found it cliche and annoying how quickly Jules and Alex fell in love with each other. When I first started the book, I was under the impression, from the summary, that Jules hated Alex for some reason and that he liked her and it all had to do with something that happened in their past. Boy was I wrong. After that surprise, I wondered how the whole hate each other/betrayal would play out so I kept reading. 
 I really didn't expect for them to fall for each other in a week and a half! Talk about instalove.. I hate to admit it, but I found the romance between not believable, I mean it was sweet whenever they hung out together, but I felt like they clicked at all, it was mostly about them kissing, or spending time together, and in a sense it could read/come off that way because Jules had never had a boyfriend before in her life. Of course, there should have been more romance between them because it felt a little weird how they were together, broken up, back together again, fighting, and and I honestly didn't feel that much for them. I was more interested in the war the newspaper had vs TALON and I swear I only kept reading the book because of that drama. Otherwise I would have dropped this. 
 And of course, can't forget about the Senior Year distractions. All the problems Jules went through were believable, to a degree, but it did justice to how hectic school, romance, and life can be to a student. 
 All in all, it was a good read even if it wasn't how I expected it to be. I laughed at the corniness and the "war", and I really enjoyed Jules' character.
