I liked the way the story starts out, very fascinating the way she wrote, but mid way through the story it fell short. The reason being that it felt choppy, why did the boyfriend leave, what was the real reason, went unexplored. How do you marry the next person, in less than one month, and that relationship felt strange? How do you go back to an ex? I didn't like how the story went and less resolution by the end of the story, think it could have been more developed and ended differently.

I liked this book. It is a work of fiction so take it as that. Annie was sweet and you just found yourself pulling for her thru the whole book. Griffin was a great character and I loved his thought process. And Nick, Nick was Nick.

For me the book was cleverly written with relatable characters but not totally predictable. It had a lot of great quotes and made you think about love, life and what is really important in a cool kind of way. It's kind of hard to explain. Don't get me wrong this is not a deep book or anything just fun light reading but one that makes you think without knowing you are doing it.
