I have one word for this book..AMAZING. In some parts it was like watching a train wreck. I just couldnt put it down. I know there are several bad reviews for this book but I think it is awesome. The characters are so well written and you feel like you are eavesdropping on their life. And girls, you have to admit, everyone has fallen in love with a bad boy at some point. That is what makes this book so appealing.
Abby is one of the main characters in this book. She is the good girl running from a bad home to start life anew at a far away college. Travis is the all-american bad boy. He can have any girl he wants except for Abby; who seems resistant to his charms. When she looses a bet to him, just how far will he go to keep her.
Reading this book will sometimes make your head spin. It is full on all the time. There is so much information packed into it. Sometimes Travis doesnt always make the best decisions and saying he has a temper is quite an understatement. You have to admit though he does love her and love makes us do crazy things. Please read this, you wont be sorry.

Ok, here's the thing. I know that I am a grown woman and I should be disgusted by this hero. I mean, he is obsessed with the girl, he beats up anyone who looks at her, he is slightly on the stalker side, he has a temper, he is frequently drunk. Even with all these flaws, I couldn't help but love the book. I'm I little ashamed to admit it, but I couldn't put the book down. Now in real life, if I had a friend who was dating someone like Travis, I would tell them to run away as fast as their feet could carry them. But for a fictional read, this book was truely addictive.

I loved this book! It is in the new adult category. I wouldn't say that it is YA because there is some sex. She doesn't go into gory detail so it is not so bad but definitely not for readers under 18. I loved it so much that I have the ebook and the paperback!

This was a good book! On goodreads a read some reveiws that shouldnt of been wrote about book. First they said they didnt finish book only got to chapter nine, so if they would of read the whole book it wouldnt of got bad reveiws. Yes travis was possesive but he was so insecure and was afraid to get close to anyone for fear of loosing them like he did his mother. yes he went over the top at times, but it was obvious he loved pigeon Abby dearly!

Great book. I couldn't put it down and even now that I'm finished I can't stop thinking about it. I agree it's probably not YA. (lots of sex & violence) I loved the other reviewer on here who said reading this book was like watching a train wreck. I totally agree. Yes, some of the characters' behavior is totally messed up & Abby & Travis' relationship is dysfunctional but it's a book and it's sexy. It was entertaining the whole way through, a bit of an emotional roller coaster but the ending was great. Sure it's not very realistic but it's a great piece of fiction! I don't always want what I read to be true to real life.
