>>>WARNING SPOILERS (SLIGHT)<<<

Initially I was really into this book. I loved Jessica's character. The premise intrigued me. The writing was decent. Then Alex happened.

I did not like Alex, at all. He was too chipper. Too eager. At least, he is in the beginning. He and Jessica fall in together way too quickly for my piece of mind. I mean, Jessica hasn't known him a day and already she's okay with him walking in on her in the shower. Not only that, but he thinks its okay to invade her privacy this way. Ummm, hello? She barely knows him. For all she knows, he could be a crazy rapist. Not to mention, a stalker. He can't seem to leave Jessica alone. Within 24 hours of meeting her, Alex wants Jessica to come into town with him; he barges into the bathroom while she's taking a shower; he cooks dinner for her; and he follows her to Sal's. I mean, what gives? All of this was done with a puppy-dog manner that was completely unappealing. This is the point where I stopped reading.

Alex is what ruined this for me. Whenever he was present I couldn't constrain my eye-roll. This severely hindered my reading experience. Also, I sort of cheated and read the descriptions for the next books in the series without finishing this one. Alex turns out to be the major love interest; the proverbial one. He didn't make a good impression on me, and I'm not willing to commit the time and money to see if he grows on me. No, thanks.
