review 1: I had to re-read Second Kiss because it had been so long since I read it that I couldn't remember what happened.I really wanted to like this one as much as the first but it kinda fell short for me. Gemma just made me angry through out the entire book. She was really quite childish and I'm glad she gradually matured as the book went on but not fast enough. There was so much teen angst in this one that it became too much. Gemma made so many immature decisions that I wanted to shake her. I get that she's a teenager and we've all been there but reading in her POV just made me want to hit her. Her ridiculous ways of handling situations were insane and then her anger when it backfired made me disliker her even more. I know that she has faults as we all do but she was so s... moreelfish and self absorbed. Jess was still a very likeable character and honestly I didn't think Gemma deserved him at all and I kind of wondered what he did see in her. He was still the gallant all around good guy that you can't help but love. He made the book better for me in every scene he was in. I'm disappointed because I thought the first book was so cute and their friendship made me sigh with wistfulness. Yes after re-reading it I realize there was a lot of teen angst in it but the friendship between Jess and Gemma made me forget all that. Unfortunately Gemma was a total idiot and their friendship didn't save the book for me this time. Too much misunderstanding and miscommunications were really frustrating. Don't get me wrong there were parts that I did enjoy, her interactions with her dad were really sweet. No doubt that Natalie Palmer is a talented writer but I just wish this wasn't written like a bad teen movie. Where the first book was sweet for the soul, this one not so much. I thought the first book ended nicely and was happily surprised that there would be a second one, until I read it. What I wasn't prepared for was the abrupt ending and get ready for it.......CLIFFHANGER! WTH!!Will I read the next one? Maybe....only if Gemma isn't a total tool!
review 2: Esperaba tanto de este libro, que fue horrible leer en lo que se convirtió. Ni siquiera pude terminar de leerlo, odie a Jess & su estúpido estamos muy jóvenes pero saldré con alguien más & el drama desde que empieza el libro ushh!!! Odio tanto drama le quita a la historia la esencia. No se me decepcionó mucho & el final peor lo siento pero después de haber esperado tanto que la autora saliera con algo así me deja con un mal sabor de boca less
