I started this book late at night, expecting to read a few chapters before I would get tired and eventually lay down to sleep. Instead, I started page one and didn't stop reading until I was on page 368 (otherwise known as the end). Don't get me wrong, because I would be lying if I said the book had no faults. However, I happen to believe that the faults the book had were minor when it came to the entire experience. I think that my biggest issue with the book was how rushed the ending was. It was like I blinked and the story's turning point, climax, falling action, and conclusion all happened before I re-opened my eyes. Additionally, I had some issues with certain characters. Specifically, I had a love-hate relationship with the protagonist. One second I would be contemplating putting the book down while the next I would be laughing out loud at something she said. I'm still not entirely sure if I loved her or hated her, but I can definitely say I enjoyed reading about her. Overall, and in spite of its negative aspects, this book really gave me the breath of fresh air that I needed. I was able to wind down and simply enjoy the story I was reading, which was exactly what I was looking for when I picked the story up. I really enjoyed the time I spent with it. 4/5 stars! P.S. I'm really loving Brodi Ashton's books! I'm excited to pick up more of her work! I really wanted this to be good. The premise sounded incredible. I love reading about uncovering corruption and rich kids being awful. Plus, that cover is absolutely gorgeous. What I got was a typical YA love story - instalove, easy forgiveness, six-pack abs and rather shallow characterization. Piper claimed to focus on her journalism, but everything was Raf, Raf, Raf. One of the major plot conflicts - the Bennington Scholarship - was resolved in one quick line near the end. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Overall, however, I liked the story. I liked Piper and her ability to make her lack of filter into an asset. As the story unfolds, and we learn more and more about Raphael's family and his background, some of his actions start to make sense. Strictly romance, but a good quick read with interesting characters. ( )
