 a. You will love this book. 
 b. You will hate this book. 
 For this book, it's either of the two. What with all the extreme emotions that it can invoke, I expect nothing less. However, as impossible as it may seem, I am still somewhere in between. I confess to almost dropping the book altogether because I'm all for girl-power (I'll explain that bit later). I still pushed through with reading this because to tell you the truth, the author has this really good and odd way of making you read more. There's this magnetic pull that makes you want to know what will happen next. I can only compare this to what I felt while reading S.C. Stephens' Thoughtless. 
 Let's now focus on the characters, shall we? 
 Amelia -> She's nice, fun and responsible. Now that I think about it, there's nothing really remarkable about her. However, one must take note that she says sorry when the need arises. I like that about her. Now what I HATE ABOUT HER, is the fact that she still sort of flirted with her estranged best friend while they were both living with the guy's serious girlfriend. Let's repeat that... SERIOUS GIRLFRIEND - as in a nice woman, ambitious, but still a good girlfriend (again, I will delve in that matter more later). 
 Justin -> The estranged best friend. A guy who's beautiful, talented, intense.. you know, your typical dream boat with baggage and everything. Let's face it, he's still in love with Amelia, but a. He has a girlfriend b. He has a conscience c. He is in the no-baby zone 
 When I think about it, it seems simple enough, right? Break up with the current girlfriend, confess his love and just be together forever. 
 But it doesn't work that way. See this is why I said that the author has this way of making you want to read more. There are twists and turns in this story. It was dizzying! They go through many trials first before at least one of them gives in. Mind you, this isn't your steamy kind of romance wherein the characters give in to their desires in almost every chapter. Noooo.. It's more of a foreplay-becomes-you book. Yep folks, if you're looking for more sexual scenes, look elsewhere. 
 Feelings come first. I think the author wanted to drive that point home. Which is of course, good in more ways that one. 
 Now let's talk about the girl power thingy from earlier. This really bothered me. 
 You see, If I had a boyfriend who has an estranged best friend, I will definitely be watching them like a hawk if at any given chance, we get to live together. Yes, I will watch you like a hawk, girl! See I'm kind of immature that way. That's just me though. 
 Justin's girlfriend at the start of the book is so mature, so nice and so trusting that she didn't bother being a hawk -not that it's her problem. The real problem for me is that both Amelia and Justin knew that they were starting to feel the old badump and yet they didn't tell the other girl anything. Amelia was even bffs with her! That witch! She even stalked her on Facebook! Yes, nobody cheated since technically, no one acted upon their desires. Like that excuses them. They should have told the other girl right then and there. It even lasted a year! My goodness! I wonder what that woman must have felt when the other shoe dropped. I know many things happened to the main characters, but one must stop and ask.. 
 What happened to the other girl? 
 Oh and you don't just do that to a sister, to a friend or any woman for that matter. You don't pretend that you're bff's, but really you're waiting in the wings for her boyfriend to look at you the same way he did years ago. That's just wrong in so many levels! 
 PLEASE MAKE A BOOK ABOUT THAT! The storyline should go like this "What happens when your boyfriend realizes that he's still in love with his old best friend and dumps you for some other lame reason, (but it's obvious what the real reason is) even though he told you he loved you and you were also good together? How do you fight that? How do you move on?" 
 I'm just a little angry for the other woman. LOL 
 Anyway, the main characters find their happy place in making a family yada yada and they live happily ever after. 
 But let me repeat.. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER GIRL?!
