On one hand, it was cute how they got so emotional over each other's existence and all that but, it was very instalove-y and overly dramatic. They kept everything legal with regards to the age gap and while college and high school students have different maturity levels, Chris seemed like he'd been forced to grow up faster and so it definitely wasn't as creepy as it could have been if he was in grade 10 or 11. What really soured it though was how it basically fucked Kimberley right over. She really loved JJ and meanwhile he's cheating on her with her stepbrother the entire time? And then refuses to tell her the truth/stop being a dick for basically the whole book? Not cool.
Buck wasn't actually as much of a dick as he seemed at the beginning of the book and his friendship with Duane was weird but kind of funny.
Kiki was just as bad as she seemed the entire time. What a bitch.
The ending was too happy-ever-after but it was completely wrapped up. What did Kimberley think? What happened to JJ's future? What about the family's financial issues? We don't know and we never will, because it's a standalone, which is good because I don't think I would read a sequel....more
