** spoiler alert ** 
 To me, this series would have turned out better if the heroines really were as strong as the characters claim. Especially Gabry - in this book in particular, I cannot tolerate her, or Elias, and the way that she subtly pushes Annah out of the picture when it comes to him. You love him - fine. Respect the fact that they've been friends for a long time too. And don't start making claims on Catcher when Annah starts liking him.
