KK, Don't Think I'm gona have time to review this outside of work, so better get it over with before I forget all my points :P. 
 I loved this book. It was a sweet coming of age story and it attempted to tackle a ver difficult life situation. What if your brother is a rapist and your boyfriend is the brother of the raped girl. You know, Dr. Phill Stuff. Alright, on with the disection: 
 The Good News: 
 - Mickey. I have a crush on him. Any Crushworthy hero is an indication of an enjoyable book 
 - The Plot was very interesting, the story line was a little obvious and predictable but the plot itself was noteworthy 
 - Alot of girl power going on in this book. Mikey's mom battling her alcoholism to protect her daughter, Ellie standing up to her parents, Ellie's mom finally sticking up to her daughter, The lady cop who helped Karen, Stacey sticking up for Karen. I Liked that. The female cast were all kick ass. 
 - The love story. I am a sucker for love stories. The characters were so sweet and cute together, I was thinking awwwwwwwwww the whole time. 
 The Bad News: 
 - Okay, here's what bothered me. The book was tackling a rape.. A RAPE. Rape is a big thing. But it really wasn't that big in the book. I mean it tried to be, but it just... wasn't. The reactions fell flat. Maybeee under such circumstances people actually don't overreact as much as I'm imagining, so maybe it was realistic, but I didnt feel it. I mean I expected there to be knife throwing when everyone found out about Mikey and Ellie, but there.. wasn't! I know that this book was mainly supposed to cover the difficulty of the whole Mikey and Ellie duo in light of the horrible circumstance they were put in, and it wasn't actually written ABOUT the circumstances, but STILL! You can't completely ignore the surroundings and just focus on the characters because it's their story... Their story is TIED to everyone elses story! That was my biggest issue with the book which is what made me reduce it to 4 stars, other than that I had little issues here and there like: 
 - Contrary to the girl power, the guys were all pretty much assholes.. We have: 
 1. A Rapist 
 2. Mikeys father who didnt even exist 
 3. Ellies chauvinistic creep of a father 
 4. Toms asshole friends 
 And then we have Mikey's boss, the cook, who,yes I know, was an amazing character BUT he lacked any sort of personality and just let his wife wear the belt. 
 Look, I'm really happy to see all those female strong leads in a book, but in a book with 8 super woman I'd like to see more than 1 superman! Ok 2, counting Mikey's friend. 
 Conclusion: 
 I did not go into this looking for a deep plot or a new litterary genius, I went in seeking entertainment. I found that and much more, I finished this book in 2 days, I was glued to it, the characters grew on me and I couldn't let it go without reaching the end. I recommend this book to ladies of all ages.
