I love all of Samantha Young's books so I was really excited to read this and see if its as good as her YA books. She didn't disappoint! I really enjoyed this book because it makes you feel so many emotions. While reading this book, I laughed, got frustrated, felt sad and happy. I love Samantha's writing style because its beautiful and just so easy to get into. Its different from her other books because they're all fantasy and this is contemporary YA, but she still managed to write a heartfelt story with characters that felt very real. Joss was a brilliant protagonist and I liked her independence and spunk. Samantha wrote her very well because all her emotional issues felt very real and natural. Her back story is heartbreaking and the effects of it can be seen in Joss. This made her frustrating sometimes and I just wanted her to make the right choice. But her character development was done very well and I liked how she progressed through the course of the book. 
 I had mixed feelings about Braden. He is very bossy and controlling and a bit of a 'caveman'. At first it irritated me a bit because I cant take guys who are too 'Alpha male'. But, he did start to grow on me and by the end of the book I got his appeal and thought that he was a wonderful match for Joss. I loved the romance; Joss and Braden had sizzling chemistry from the first scene. I liked its development and was anxious for them to be together. There are very hot sex scenes in this book and they were nicely written, unlike in some books. *cough* Fifty Shades of Grey *cough* The entire cast of this book was great, and I loved all the subplots too. The last quarter of the book was emotional and I loved it. I thought the book ended perfectly, just the way I wanted and I am excited to see what Samantha Young comes up with next :)
