First thought about the book, it's pretty long. Like really long for my taste. 
 Second thought, is it really by the same author who wrote My Life Next Door? I mean I loved that one but this? Meh. 
 What can I say? I am the among the very few who really didn't like this book. Everything about it didn't attract me. From the first chapter itself I was just not impressed. I keep on reading hoping I would like it (The reviews were pretty good so I was really looking forward for this one. I was super excited when I got the book). 
 First of all the characters. Gwen was just plain annoying. Yes she had made some mistakes. On a positive note, I love the fact that the author didn't make her look bad and I loved how she lived her life not exactly regretting it. I mean how can you be happy if you do? I really loved that aspect. And loved her courage and determination. But that's all I liked about her. Or that's all I liked about the whole book. (Before I forget, I loved Em too. It's impossible to dislike it) 
 Then we have Cass. Didn't like him either. Too blaaaaaah for me. 
 Nic, I liked him better than Cass. Yeah he had problems too but I really wished he got a better ending. 
 Vivien. Did. Not. Like. Her. At. All. (That's it. I don't even want to talk about her. Yeah it's realistic what happened and bla bla shit, but I hated her) 
 Do i even need to mention Spence? 
 Next let's look at the story. It was way too boring for me. Nothing hooked me. I simply loved Boy Next Door. The whole story was captivating and I pretty much read it in one day. I remember reading till around 4 a.m. I loved it that much. I couldn't keep it down. But with this? I couldn't pick it up after keeping it down. I know I'm being a bit too harsh but I really did not like this one. 
 The writing was beautiful but the pacing was slow and it was just too annoying for me. This book was soon not for me. 
 Maybe more than disliking I was disappointed. I was having really high hopes on this one and I felt let down. I'm not contemplating whether I should I buy The Boy Most Likely too.
