Incredibly drama-rific. Not in a good way but also not in a completely bad way. For a girl who's all about honesty and clearing up misunderstandings before they turn into full-on plots, though, I'm kind of disappointed that Charley didn't say the truth more often. For instance, she still hasn't told her parents about her career choice and she didn't immediately dissuade Jake that she'd slept with Lowe. I expected more spine than that. I don't think I can handle the next book. It really should've ended here. I understand why it didn't; there's a lot of hurt to unpack and get past from Jake's actions. But I can't go through this all again when it's so clear that they love each other more than they care about anyone else in the room, in their school, and in the whole world. If the next book had been exclusively about how Claud leaves Beck for good to spare herself the useless heartache, I'd definitely be up for more from this series. But that's how it goes.

En fin, el libro... el libro... Te va a destrozar. Al principio estás “Maldito maldito”, luego “Awww”, luego “Tú, tonta”, más tarde “Te entiendo”.
Samantha Young made my nerves, already defective, have more action than ever.
Es un choque de trenes, algo que no puedes evitar, mientras tienes el corazón roto por Charley, Samantha nos trae también unos flashbacks dónde Jake no es el malo malote que creemos al inicio, es doloroso suspirar por alguien que ya sabes te hará daño.
Samantha's writing is enveloping, have the excitement from the first words you don't have to wait for action, I like that.
Al ser yo una persona con poco empatía para algunas cosas (infidelidades, estupideces, y lo que se la parezca), más o menos a la mitad del libro estaba con ganas de matar a Charley. El gen de estar enamorado y no poder separarte de alguien, es algo que no he experimentado, súmale eso a que no sé perdonar, se me hacía difícil leerlo. Supongo que cuando te enamoras no puedes alejarte así quieras, así te lastime, así solo puedas ser su amigo. (Espero no enamorarme, estoy bien así, gracias muchas gracias). Además el no saber exactamente qué pasó entre ellos, me hace ponerme en guardia y no confiar en Jake por más que mediante los flashbacks puedes apreciar el gran amor que ellos tienen. Es más difícil así, gracias Samantha, mi corazón llora.
“The characters make you re-think things, seeing the sense that maybe your (my) pride obscures.”
