Coming from a girl who didn't read the first book, this was a cute read. Cute, sweet, albeit corny in ao many scenes, but still a good read. 
 I gave this book a shot because I love, love, love The Avery Shaw Experiment. I wondered how the author would handle a New Adult Book. This book is good, though I still felt as if I was reading YA and since I have read TASE more than ten times, I could really see the resemblance of the writing. It really felt YA-ish even though the characters are already mature. Days after finishing this book, I still can't decide whether this is a good thing or a bad one. 
 Kyle's POV was fun to read. He's charming, witty, but sometimes unsure of himself. This book's timeline is 4 years after the first one, so I would guess, he had a lot of growing up to do. I was happy for him because he really made things happen. He was determined and nothing stopped him from getting Val. 
 Val on the other hand, is a handful. I can't say that I love her character... she's just... so... righteous. hahah! Sorry! I love good girls, I do, however, there's just something about Val that makes me feel weirded out. haha! omg! Maybe it's not just Val. Maybe it's also Kyle or the paparazzi that is always a part of this story. 
 Anyway, all in all.. the story is pretty easy to figure out. I was just shocked by what they did in the end. I guess they didn't want to waste time eh? haha! Oh and the last part? It's just like a movie! :) 
 Good read. ^_^v
