I wanted to give this book more than 3 stars. I really did. This book holds a lot of promise. But it reads like a first draft, with typos, grammar mistakes, and tenses all over the place. That's the problem with books written in 1st person; too damn easy to mess up and too difficult to catch the mistakes. Add to that factual mistakes and I was itching to give up several times. It didn't help that we were constantly hammered with that Tru and Jake were best friends growing up. Mention it once or twice, we get it, no need to beat us over the head with it. 
 But something kept me reading, something kept me going through this book. Something made it impossible to put the book down. And it's that je ne sais que that kept me reading through the night until I finished the book at 5 AM. 
 Had the book been written in 3rd person, with alternated points of view, it would have been perfect. More than anything else, it lacked Jake's voice. Having everything told in Tru's voice was annoying in the long run. It got too one sided, and to take this story over the top, it needed his side to fill out all the blanks. 
 What irked me the most, was that Tru cheated on her boyfriend, Will, with Jake, the bestie and love of her life. I generally do not like cheating in my books. >.< 
 It didn't help the book that there was so much fading to black. There was plenty of smut happening, we were introduced to the very gist of it before it all faded to black. When you write such an intense book about sexy rockers, you have to give your readers the smut. Funnily enough, it's what brings the book together. 
 The length of the book kind of killed me a little. It's just too long. And there's a book two coming out which continues their story. Will I read it? Probably. Will I read it right away? Probably not. 
 Another thing that killed the book, was all the dialogue. Too much talk, talk, talk. It goes to the whole show, don't tell thing that this book sorely needed. 
 Other than the obvious reasons, this book is good. It's very raw, and you get very engaged in the characters. They just speak to you. I wish that the author had used a better editor for this one, and that the book wasn't written in 1st person, messy tenses. 
 Even with all my grievances, I'm placing this book in my favorites shelf, and I'm keeping an eye on this author. If she manages to sort out her tenses and finds a decent editor, she'll hit the big times in a big way.
