I have been told by so many that I needed to read this book, and now that I have - I am so glad to say that I listened to them. This was one great book, I just fell in love with Alexa, and how strong of a person she is. There were so many twists and turns that kept me on my toes, throughout the novel - that I just couldn't help but keep swiping my finger across my phone. (I know I didn't read a "real" book, but an ebook) That's besides the point right now though, I just could not stop - I would stay up all hours of the night reading this book, and wanting to know who she would end up with. Let's talk characters...
Ethan - boy oh boy. I have to say that I first, when I reading this book, and I know that Alexa ending up meeting him at twelve years old, I was excited for her to have her first crush. I thought that it was cute the way that she would react to him, and how she didn't know what a crush was. I really enjoyed that, but once they got older and I got to see more about Ethan - then I kind of just really started to not like him. As it states in the book, he's really possessive, and it's not cute and it's not attractive. He's demanding and he knows that he's good looking, and that is something that I don't like... He's just kind of an a-hole. I feel as though when it comes to Ethan, although he was her first crush so there is something special there, I feel as though she deserves so much more... and what the hell is wrong with his mom?
Devin, I love love love Devin, I knew that something was going to be different once she moved, but I didn't expect them to be too different, but a lot had changed. I have to say that Devin had to be one of my favorite characters in this book. He was just so charming and funny, he genuinely cared about Alexa and her safety. There are so many good qualities in Devin, that feel more women should look for in guys. That he's caring, he's smart, and he's devoted. Like, don't ever take a man like that for granted, they're hard to find, and even harder to keep.
I just want to add in Olivia, I cannot stand that woman! I do not know what is wrong with her, I don't know why she's so crazy. I have no clue if she has more children, if she's a pedophile, if she's in love with her son, or what... but all I know is that I feel as though she has something to do with the highly top secret thing. (I'm not going to say, you have to read the book to find out!)
I kind of wanted to save Alexa for last, and that is only because I have slightly mixed emotions about her, I love her and I think that she's strong and independent and she's such a great main character and a wonderful point of view to follow. But she is indecisive about what she wants, she doesn't always follow through with what she wants, and how to approach situations. But then again, what girl knows what she wants - and ever handles a situation well? Hardly, any of us. As the main character I feel, she had so much going on in her life, that T.R. Cupak - gave her just the right amount of stress, and ways to deal with it - that it made the book. When it came to losing her virginity, or drinking or falling in love all of it seemed to happen at the right time, and at the right pace. I really loved that.
T.R. Cupak - I just have to say that this was the first book that I have ever read by her, and I am glad that I got a chance to. This book gave me all finds of feelings, I cried, I laughed, and I even re-read somethings out loud to my boyfriend to share the humor and the light-heartedness (in some spots) with my boyfriend. I am excited to start on Alexa Loved and to see what else happens in the lives of Alexa, Ethan and Devin. I hope that I get some answers and that I love the following book just as much!
