 Let me just say, first of all that this book was so cute. Like really. It's not your usual toe-curling sweetness but rather something more. It was nice kind of cuteness. The whole thing was evenly paced and well written. I have to strongly disagree on some of the reviewers mentioning that this story was girl about everything perfect in her life going through rebellious streak. I mean though she seemed to have everything perfect, she was actually nice. Unlike some characters I've read ( ahem, Fill-i Boyfriend. That was just torture to read). Well I guess after reading that, this book seems pretty good and Samantha looks angelic next to her. 
 Let me begin by the points I disliked. #1-Nan 
 I mean seriously, talk about being jealous. Through out their friendship it seems as if she was just a jealous bitch. There were early signs of her bitchiness but I never expected her to turn to complete asshole, which she ultimately did. Samantha was nothing but totally nice during their friendship which she kindly replayed with complete hostility. So in return I totally hated that character. Despite the fact That I disliked her I think she was a key part of the fact that allowed Samantha to become much more stronger. I liked how it ended up with Tim being the supportive character and let me add that I ended loving him more than anyone in the story. Next in my dislike list is Grace Reed. That woman is epitome of mean-rich bitch all grown up. You rarely seen grown up version of spoiled kids in stories but Grace Reed come close to that. She was the other bitch through out the story. It was so obvious how spoilt and STUPID she was. Well I didn't like her from the part where she started dating a man 10 years younger and how easily she just barged into the house totally eaten up his face while her daughter opened the door for them. Yep, not that much of a strong point there. I have no clue how a nice girl like Samantha is a daughter of her either. I totally respect Tracy's decision of leaving the house. Even I would have. And it was so nice watching a future senator being manipulated by a bigger assshole (Clay Tucker) 
 Other than those two, all the other characters in the book were lovely. The MCs, Samantha and Jase were so cute to read. The joys of first love is obviously cute to read but these two would pretty much hold a big place in my heart. I liked how understanding Jase was and how maturely he handled the situation of his dad. He was obviously torn apart but still he loved Samantha enough to get over it. And when the scenes in which they were together was like soooooo cute (okay even I can't believe that I'm writing like this but still) 
 When thinking about the writing, like I mentioned above I'll say the book was evenly paced. There was no point of he story that was too fast or too slow. I liked how Fitzpatrick had written the story in a pace that everyone can relate to saying that it's more real. Also the writing was simple and not too complicated and well suited for a good new adult novel. Well I don't want to go further into the story because I think I've given enough spoilers already and if I write more I'll most probably end up giving it more of them so yeah I'll just end this by saying that I totally love this book and although this was my first book by Huntley Fitzpatrick, I'll be more than glad to read some more of her books.
