** spoiler alert ** I really had a good feeling about this one.

What I liked:
This was very readable and had me reading into the wee hours of the morning. Unfortunately, that was the only reason I finished this book.

What I didn't like:
1) We only heard the story from the h's pov. It became sort of boring after a while. There was too much inner monologue for me...and too much talk about emotions.
2) The MCs relationship didn't have much development. She spent most of her time trying to ignore/avoid him. The moments of vulnerability they show one another were pretty few and far between.
3) He's the typical, gorgeous manwhore on campus. Why does the H always have to be gorgeous? And if he is, why does he have to sleep around? I think he knew he loved her all along, but tried to "get over it" and "forget her" by screwing lots of women. I hate that kind of H. He doesn't think the h needs him, so he has lots of casual sex. He doesn't think he's good enough for h, so he has lots of casual sex. It's trite and honestly, I find it gross. How is it possible that these H don't have more baby mamas than they do? Or have tons of STDs? Safe sex isn't always safe. Ugh. Rant over. It just made me not like him very much.
4) The story was predictable. The big reveal was a long time coming.
5) The epilogue didn't really give any clue as to what happened to them later on.
