4.5 stars — Who wrote thoughts of this book down a long time ago, then forgot about it, so isn’t going to both cleaning it all up and making it pretty and you just get what you get? This girl! Definitely emotional, but not as angsty as I was expecting. Just a lot of heart wrenching. Jonah was almost too good to be true…but luckily he had his dumbass moments too to prove he was human. I loved how sweet he was, how thoughtful, how just *good*. Kacey was more than I was expecting too. I had anticipated that this book would be about addiction, but it really wasn’t. It was about her finding out what was good for her, and what wasn’t. And not being afraid to grab what you want. Loved both narrators. Both did a great job with all the emotions and made me feel so much and made me bawl. Really added by listening. Their voices weren’t always consistent or unique for secondary characters, and sometimes it was hard to suss out dialogue from thoughts in head, but I think that’s just generally a challenge for narrators. Loved their voices for the other. Lots of fun moments and sexy moments. Was distracted reading it, and wary of the ending, so it took forever to finish it because I never wanted to pick it back up. Loved the secondary cast. I could totally see where things were going sometimes though and wasn’t always happy that I saw that coming…made it a bit harder to invest in Kacey and Jonah. I still did, but…it was odd. Loved Oscar and Dina and Tonya — all great friends. Parents were intriguing. Loved all the glass blowing stuff, that was super cool. I know someday I will read book 2, but I was definitely not emotionally ready for that when I finished this a year and a half ago. Maybe soon.

to be honest I couldn't get into
