...Well...this is an understatement I know but that was intense.
Not sure how to rate this book so I'll just chalk my rating up to “undecided”.
This book had me mildly intrigued from the start. After reading the summary, I just couldn't stop wondering how Penelope Douglas would get Tate to forgive Jared, AKA the initial bad-tempered, unpredictable jackass. I was expecting the author to make the main character incredibly easy to manipulate. But boy was I wrong.
Although Tate did seem particularly weak in the beginning, I guess that's what the character development was supposed to, well, develop. Even before Tate had escaped to France, we got a preview of how she would be after she got back and eventually faced her fears again.
Anyways, I'm going to be honest and say I'm not sure whether I'd recommend this to anyone. However, I could tell whoever's reading this that this book hooked me from the start, I finished it in one day, and the ending...the ending was

wow in a lovely, surprising, positive, amazing, wonderful, beautiful way.
