First of all, i gave this a 1 star at first...but then I changed it because I finished the book. I am very confident that if a book was a 1 star book I would not have finished it HOWEVER this is the only book that I can remember reading and thinking the whole time "...only ____ more pages until this thing is finally over". this is the only young adult book that I have read and thought, man, maybe i', too old for these books. I am well aware that these books are intended for YOUNG adults but genernally they are somewhat relatable regardless of age, especially in my case where I am only 23, however, I thought this book was very immature and the writing, to me, was awful. I will first start off by saying what in the world was Susane Colasanti thinking when she decided to use phrases such as "and I was like..." "and so I go...". Now I understand that when you are having a coversation you may use sayings as such but seriously when reading phrases like "he said..." "she said..." work perfectly fine. I found that the choices of phrases really were distracting in this book. The second issue that I had with this book was the alternating POV's. I LOVE when authors give the opportunity to see different POV's, however, only if it is done correctly (i.e Perfect Chemistry Series by Simone Elkeles **must read!**). In this book we had to re-live EVERY scene twice. There was no realy change in the POV's it was literally reading the same thing just changing characters. Everytime I read a chapter that I was not a fan of (basically every other one) I was dreading the next because I knew that I was going to have to re-read it all over again. The third issue is Tobey. I did not find him "swoon-wothy" like others. I guess I must have missed that. I got so annoyed with all his thoughts going back to sex. I mean seriously, romance is a big part of most books but this one just got annoying.
