Though the negative things about this book outweigh the positive, I'll start off with mentioning the negative (being the predictable girl I am).
Okay, I'm just going to go:
This goes without saying, but this book was full DRAMA! Ooh buddie! It frustrated me because I couldn't find a part in the book that didn't have a solution or an end to the drama. There seemed to be no moral to the story, and it was quite pointless. The end dissatisfied me most because it seemed to go in the predictable and cliched direction of having the two main characters make up It was too abrupt for me, and I was left hanging. The book lacked depth and fair execution.
Now on to the good:
I found Quinn and her actions/thoughts very relatable and realistic. Campbell's character development was smart and well written (to an extent). The best part of the book was the beginning, when I became familiar with Quinn's life and when Ben and Quinn first met. Once the drama struck, I was put off.
Overall: I loved Quinn and Ben but not the drama.
[Plus I didn't like the confusing plot holes]
Campbell did a good job, though. :)

I have been desperate to read this for ages so I ended up buying this a few months ago, and only just reading it now (I am awful at reading books I have purchased for my ipad)
The situation Quinn is in wasn't what I expected, and a lot of times I wanted to make everything better for her. I think she made a huge mistake in what she does that causes her and Ben to split up, but I also think she could have had better friends so she didn't feel the need to pretend her life was perfect for them.
Quick read that I really enjoyed.

3.5 stars. If you are looking for a book where the heroine is a hot mess, look no further. Thank goodness the second book about Quinn and Ben is already out!

Good read! Quinn is a girl who has closed herself off emotionally due to things that occur within her family. I actually enjoyed the way she was written. No one is perfect, especially in their teen years. She has a lot of issues and, instead of confronting them, she chooses to sink into herself and put others off, making things much worse.
Her relationship with Ben is naturally affected and it was interesting to watch situations between them unfold. I will definitely finish the series!

Sweet and entertaining all the way through. I was definitely rooting for the main couple. The ending felt like it was missing something. I would have liked to see Quinn get more closure on things, perhaps get into some sort of help. But despite all her flaws, she was a gorgeous and great MC to follow, and all I wanted the whole way through was for her to get a happy ending.
Unrelated and having no effect on the rating I gave it, but there were several formatting errors and typos that were jarring. Especially quotation marks out of place.

This was just a frustrating book for me. So, don't take my 1 star rating to heart.
Others may love this book - I just don't like cheaters. I couldn't forgive someone who cheated. I know that I would not be able to build the trust back up and would not be able to forgive them fully, ever.
So, kuddos to Ben for still wanting Quinn even after she tore him apart.
But beyond that, Quinn is such a mess, she shouldn't be with anyone. She can't even have friends without throwing herself at every male or feeling competition from every female. She's so unstable she's popping pills and drinking like it's an afterschool sport. I would have loved to have a little more "I need to get myself better before I drag anyone into my crap again" and a little less her stumbling back into her ways...
Most odd however was the addition of the violence in the home by the father that was never addressed. the obvious addiction her mom has - never addressed. Not a very uplifting book.

I'm a little torned up about my rating...it's not a 4 and it's not a 3...
I really liked Quinn when I first started reading this book...and then...she was so f***** dramatic...with how she pushed everything in and away..
She was so snarky with her friends and her ''enemies'' but with her parents..I would so tell her father off....but she just kept her mouth shut...really? He was such a hypocrit you know..
Ben was ok..I guess...just his mother annoyed the hell out of me...
So this was an ok read..and in the end...I got what I wanted out of the book :)

I did enjoy the book, just wanted it to be a touch steamier. This read a lot like YA to me and not so much like New Adult.
I do plan on reading the sequel though!

Liked Quinn's attitude. I like that she fucked up. Wish there was more action than sulking. And a more complete ending, especially one were Ben's mom can suck it.
