Just a few chapters in, and I already knew this book was going to be all over the place. The book flip-flops between third person limited, and third person omniscient, which gave the book an choppy feeling.
While the main characters' "I can't stop thinking about him/her" rants were annoying, they were not unexpected. However, what was really frustrating, was Maddy's constant disbelief of Jacks' love. We as readers, know from the book description that they fall in love. Even without that, they make it blindingly obvious, going out on dates and such. So why should Maddy be saying "I have to keep myself away from you so I don't get sucked into the illusion that you might actually like me" (Speer 224).
The writing of Maddy's character actually irked me throughout. She goes from defending herself to the "mean girl" angel, to being sad and feeling less worthy than that same angel for the rest of the book. Early in the novel, it says "Sometimes when it came to guys, Maddy found herself a bit tongue-tied [...]" (Speer 16). She acts shy and unsure of herself throughout that whole first chapter. Suddenly, a few chapters later she talks to boys like a normal person and goes on a date and almost kisses a boy suddenly.
EDIT: The ARC cover was shiny and the model was shirtless. With the different cover, I lost my favorite part of the book!… (mais)
