review 1: ***SPOILER ALERT***This one was an emotional roller coaster for me. I was so insanely frustrated with Amanda - for pretty much the whole book, that it could have ruined it for me - but it didn't I STILL don't get how she managed to over and over again push Noah away. I didn't even really get mad until it was obvious that pushing him away was NOT going to allow them to be friends - and at that point, all her reasoning for pushing him away lost any validity - and I just decided she was stupid. At the same time, even though it was totally and completely irrational - I felt the same feeling of betrayal every time Noah hooked up with another girl - so I didn't really feel lime I could write Amanda off for her crazy making behavior. I was heartbroken for Amanda, and Noah. I neve... morer ever saw it coming. I was shocked that the author took it in that direction - and I was awed by how well she pulled it off. (view spoiler). I guess in some ways it made sense that something truly dramatic was going to have to happen to get Amanda to see life as it really was.
review 2: I was all over the place with this book, not sure what rating to give it. At times it was 3 stars, other times it was 5 stars. Since I was thinking about it long after I had finished it, I decided that made it a 5 star.First of all, what drove me crazy - Amanda. I wanted to shake her so many times. After a while, her insecurities became tedious and I almost stopped reading completely. Wanting to shake the h a few times is fine, when it is over and over, chapter after chapter, that can get annoying. I wasn't sure where she got her idea she needed to be perfect besides a few mean girls. I never saw evidence of it with family members, but apparently she did so I did accept it. I think the book might have been tightened up a bit. I was starting to get restless reading it and I was finally at the point wondering if the rest of the book would be like this. Then a twist came and I couldn't stop reading. Or crying. The scenes that had previously annoyed me and had me wanting to yell at Amanda to just lighten up and stop getting in the way of her own happiness, they became much more touching and significant. I loved Noah, and their scenes were so poignant. I laughed, I cried, I smiled like an idiot. You knew they were soul mates, and they needed to be together. Unfortunately for them, Amanda was too insecure in herself to believe it. I'm not sure anyone would make the decisions she did, but you never know.I won't spoil whether there is a HEA in this book, I had no idea throughout the entire book whether Amanda and Noah would finally be happy or not. I will say I was emotional throughout, it made me cry at times, and the ending was no different. less
