Jay McLean definitely used her imagination with More Than This. I say that in appreciation! 
 Kayla's whole world literally falls apart in one night and it is definitely an experience you go through with her. I love that we have an actual interaction with her and her family to base her love for them off of. Many books are written with the trauma having already happened so it's always taking the characters word for it. But to be able to experience the relationship before they were taken away helps understand her pain and you even feel it too. 
 Jake... oh Jake. Can I say there is no other like you? I truly mean that. I have tons of book boyfriends and Jake is absolutely amazing. He. Is. Amazing. Just the right touch of jealousy, over-protectiveness, trust and sexiness. He is perfect in a million ways.
