I now see there are quite a few people who had problems with this book. I am not sure I am not one of them. But I give you this, it was entertaining from start to finish, whatever was happening: good, bad or worse, I was enthralled. And appalled. And confused. And most of all torn.
At the end of the day I think I did like it. There are lot of feelings I share with Nell. I think every girl has felt the same way once or twice too. Like maybe the rules of the world are never fair, because no matter how much we try, guys seem to have it easier.
I must confess, there were some parts when I really thought it was out of control. The relationship between Nell and Jackson, while passionate, seemed to be very toxic too. But this is good to read about, so you can identify if maybe you are in one too. The thing about this toxic relationships is that they mostly seem like both people are doing things out of love: THEY ARE NOT. LOVE IS NOT LIKE THIS.
Nevertheless, it was heartbreaking to see the price they both had to pay. I kept wanting both of them to wake up already and realize they were not a good thing. They were so much better than who they were together.
One of the things I liked the most in this story were the friends of both Jackson and Nell. The Reagans, Colombus and Tristan, they were all AMAZING friends that sometimes neither of our main characters deserved. But that's the thing about friends, they stick with us.
So I don't regret this book one bit. And I hope that if you read it, you'll try not to judge either.
