This book was not very good. Personally, I thought that Jane didn't have a backbone. She was very self-loathing and accepted love where she found it. Instead rising from the ashes of her horrible past, she lived in fear of never being good enough.

 Nico Rathburn was the cliche rockstar looking for redemption. He wasn't written well. The author could have portrayed him as more of a loving father and that would have compelled me to believe that he was capable of love. I don't think that Jane really had a personality of her own. Either she was trying to please her parents or letting Nico or River convince her into doing what they please. She was completely dependent on the approval of others and never really appreciated herself. The only times the felt happy about her relationship was after she had sex with Nico.

 I gave this book 1 star because it shows women as weak and in constant need of approval. The text was poorly written and did not show the realistic relationships.
