I believe I am now too old to read Y.A. 
 I'm still entertained by their fast and easy style, I'm just not mentally challenged. Well, I do enjoy brain fluff books from time to time, but I prefer them to be adult oriented rather than 
 "oh I like this boy but he doesnt like me so I'm going to be misreable and run away" Teen-Drama. 
 That doesn't mean I did not enjoy this book. It's decent for a Y.A., at least it was safe from the new Christian Grey abusive male syndrome that has sprouted lately. So, points for that! 
 I'm giving this 4 stars because it sucked me in, I had 3 sleepless nights because of this book. A little part of me still feels mushy for those Y.A. love stories, the "I ran away but he caught me" crap. I KNOW it's crap, but in every girl lies a Disney Princess that wants to be saved, we can't help it, we grew up to this propaganda. Blame the government. 
 The ending felt a bit loose. Not in terms of Scarlets story, I was okay with leaving that bit open, it didn't really matter, but for John. What would happen to the band ?! 
 (view spoiler)[ We had John sparing Guy's life because he did not want Scarlet to end up with Robin, and he actually says this to her, then, we end with Robin and Scar hooking up. 
 Okay? I can ignore the fact that her marriage to Guy was not resolved, because her and Robin ended up together and the words "I do" aren't going to change that, but what about John?! This creates a whole new conflict. Which is why I was not very satisfied with the ending (hide spoiler)] 
 That being said, I recommend this book to Young Adults, and Adult Y.A. readers. It's short and sweet.
