Okay there is absolutely no way to do this review properly without spoilers. I will go ahead and do what I consider a "mini-review" with no quotes or description of the book.

This books writing style just got more complicated as they added an extra person. We were hearing about most things twice since we would hear Addison's side of the story and then also either Colin's or Pierce's on top of it. Emma remains horribly selfish and she thinks it a lot in the book and says it. I wish one of her friends would have grabbed her shoulders and said YES YOU ARE! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY! Yes, that is how I felt this whole book. By the end, I was just over everyone in this story. They seemed so immature and if they had been in college or that age, maybe I could have related more. They aren't. Emma is a nurse. She has to be in her mid-twenties from what I can tell by the timelines given in the book. Pierce owns his own company. Colin is a lawyer. For being so smart business wise-they are freaking idiots in their personal life. They let Emma walk all over them and had no backbone! This series just frustrated me to no end. It was hard to enjoy it when I couldn't empathize with any of the characters, didn't understand them, and honestly, didn't like them much.
