Phew, that was intense. And definitely not what I expected. I mean, the whole two-broken-people-meeting-and-being-broken-together was something I expected, but not the rest of it. The intensity. The emotion. The rawness. The nitty-gritty. 
 And it was awesome. Seriously. 
 I was hooked from the very first paragraph, the words flowing so smoothly that I could read it without thinking too hard. There weren't grammatical errors to skip over or try to figure out in my head. There weren't insane words used that were supposed to mean one thing and meant something entirely different. And the fact that we got a look into both of their heads had me jumping up and down with glee. 
 Not really. 
 But seriously. 
 Emilie was such a feisty little thing. I loved her humor and her thought process, and I loved the fact that she said a lot of the things I would have said if in her position. She wasn't too stubborn or bitchy, but she didn't just give in, either. If anything, she was a little too rational. Maybe I'm just a tad bit more vindictive, but I woulda made Quinn regret being an ass. 
 Quinn. I hated him. With a passion. From the very first words that tumbled out of his mouth, to the closing line of that first chapter, I wanted to punch him in his baby-maker. I don't think I ever stopped hating him, really. EVen after I fell in love with him. His character was so raw and real and unbelievably sexy, that, once again, I had a hard time believing that anyone that young and that sure of himself actually existed. But i guess that was the point; he wasn't sure of himself, and it showed. 
 I loved that the author seemed to know what she was talking about, whether it was about art or tennis or the tendencies of the rich lifestyle. Whether she had to research the information or knew it from experience, I appreciated it. It made it feel as though I was reading something more intelligent than the fluffy shit out there. Thank you, Lila Payne, for the wonderful thrill of a well written/well thought out book. 
 I would definitely recommend this to everyone and anyone. It tugged on my heart strings, ya'll. It's a good one.
