*I was given this book exchange in for an honest review. 
 2.5 STARS 
 With that being said, I really hate that I didn't love this book. I would love to leave five stars, especially because the other ratings have been so high, but I'd be lying if I did. Keep in mind that this is my opinion and yours might be different. 
 It's not like there was anything wrong with the book as far as format and grammar go. There were only very few misspelled words or misplaced punctuation. My problem lies with the fact that the sentences were very short, and not in a good way. I like fragments. I use them often. What I don't like is when one sentence is turned into two and it just sounds all wrong. Another thing I noticed was a lot of the sentences started with "I" or "He". It became repetitive, to the point where everything sounded clinical. The whole book was like reading bullet points, in the sense that each move was outlined. But then there were times when she was in the kitchen, and then she wasn't, and she was actually answering the door, which sometimes made her feel like having a heart attack, but most times wasn't mentioned at all. It was...confusing, for lack of a better word. 
 My thoughts are all jumbled, so I'm going to do a bit of bullet pointing for you to enjoy. 
 - Emma. Emma, Emma, Emma. I could not stand her. Does that make me a heartless bitch? Maybe. But all of her poor me stuff got really annoying. I know what se went through was terrible. Having never been in a situation like that, I don't know how I would react, but after ten years, I feel as though some progress should be made towards getting better. Or maybe some actions taken towards it. ANd I think that's what we're wanted to think she is dong, by seeing a therapist and all that, but the getting better part never happens. And then all of the sudden she's in love. Literally over night. And her love interest... 
 - Simon. Honestly, I don't have much to say about him. There wasn't anything wrong with him, but there wasn't anything necessarily right. He kinda sorta didn't exist for me. I mean, obviously he's a main character and there's plenty of him in the story, but he just didn't make me think much farther than the sweet nothings he was going on about. And I kept forgetting that he was much older than her, had an ex-wife (view spoiler)[who is super beautiful, and super sweet, and super awesome, and gets along really well with Emma...really? (hide spoiler)] and child. 
 - Tom and Cass. At first I thought Tom was gay, but he wasn't. And then I thought he was in love with Emma, but he wasn't. And then I was hoping he was going to be funny or witty or awesome, but he wasn't. Cass was just there to remind Emma how strong and wonderful and beautiful she was, none of which I felt towards either of them, so that was rather annoying. 
 While the subject matter was meant to be emotional, the story itself was anything but. I couldn't help but want to slap Emma for 1.) being a blubbering mess and 2.) making horrible decisions. Like, seriously. All of Emma's "problems" (view spoiler)[the attack, and then her mother not really being her mother (hide spoiler)] were so gigantic that I definitely should have been feeling shock or anger or something, but alas, it never happened. It feels as though I had so much more to say, but I can't remember it. *shrugs* Oh well. 
 All in all, if someone asked me about this book, I would tell them to read the reviews themselves. My low rating seems to be the only one, so maybe it just didn't fit my current mood. It definitely wasn't the worst book I've read, so I'll cheers to that!
