3.5 stars

I swear I love this author's writing! Her books are always very intense and the angst levels are really up there, just the way I like it.

Some of her books have been hit or miss though - I can't decide where I am with this one. It was a real page-turner and I couldn't put it down. I think my problem is that her books could almost be considered erotica and a high school setting is strange for me when the steam levels are so high. That would have been at least a 4 for me if it was an adult novel. I just can't get over the fact that for me sex in high school was awkward at best and these characters go at it like pros.

Also, I didn't particularly care for the heroine for most of the book but this was intentionally done - a big part of the book was how the heroine grew to become a much better and more relatable person and I admire the author for what she's done here.

All in all, while I did enjoy this book a lot, I think it's one of these books I liked but didn't love so 3.5 seems like a fair rating.
