This book was incredibly more preachy than the other ones. I felt like Kody wasn't a human being anymore, just this fountain of "knowledge". Every time she opened her mouth it was to say, "Nick don't you know that We all have inner demons and they're these little negative voices who try to bring us down/(direct quote)Mistakes don't have to define us. They're how we learn and grow. They show us who.../ A single smile can turn a bad moment good...etc ". I was like, um, Kody, be a real person please? Especially near the end where he's going to kill himself and Nekoda appears. And she preaches and they kiss and then she preaches some more. Don't get me wrong I did like the book, but the preachiness and the cheese is getting to me. Oh, the cheese! 
 Direct quotes: 
 "Can you keep a secret?" 
 "Me and Tupperware, baby. We seal tight. Ain't nothing going to get out." 
 "There are some things that defy explanation- kind of like. . . you know, you." 
 In fact every time him or Kody said baby I wanted to slap them. I don;t know if I'll be able to keep going on this series. I thought this was the last one and I was so glad to be done. Just because I wanted to move on, but now it seems I might stick around, even if this book was a little disappointing. I think Mark is really growing on me actually. Once again the fight at the end that was supposed to be epic was not. GRRRR.
