What I loved:

As you can guess from the title, pretty much everything. The tension, the misunderstandings, the angst and anger were so believable. Sloane had been through this enormous thing, but still managed to come across as a real teenager trying to put her life back together. Her grief felt so raw and tangible that there were times reading it when I wanted to cry also.
Luke was likewise angry and sexy and all that you want in a love interest/alternate POV. Really, there was nothing not to love about this book.

The Bottom Line:
If you want to stay up all night and get your heart crushed and remade, this is the book for you.
