OOh Boy I'm so sad right now, I waited so long for this book to come out. I'm disappointed. In the first book I loved Summer she has suffered so much, been trough so much and she keeps on fighting. I liked the second but in this book I don't like Summer at all. After Twilight I can't stand love triangles. I hate them, there are only a handful off books/authors who pulled it off.
Summer goes back and forth with Gage and Julian hurting them both. One day she loves Gage and the next day she loves Julian. I wanted to bitch slap her so bad. She had so many problems and still she only cares about her love live. She cries for everything but never rising to be stronger or to do better, she makes the stupidest decisions. I try to keep in mind that she's been trough so much but you can't excuse stupidity. I don't feel in this book that she was growing in herself.
Gage if you have to control every move your girlfriends makes and she is still not 100% choosing you dump that girl. Don't you have some self respect? Grow some balls. He was so jealous ( with good reason to ) but I got so tired of his behavior, he is always sheltering Summer, he wants to lock her up in a cage to protect her. The thing is, love should have place for you to go forward and grow but Gage was doing everything he could to prevent changes in the role his of protector and boyfriend. He wanted to control every aspect in her life. That is not love.
Julian can't help himself he is manipulated, for him I understand why he's doing what's he's doing.
The love triangle took the life out off the story and the writing.
