Okay, so I went into this book knowing that it has been getting mixed reviews but I figured it's a short contemporary about a girl studying abroad I will probably like it.

That was unfortunately not the case, Shane is without a doubt one of the most annoying and frustrating main characters that I have ever read about. I honestly thought that she was sixteen because of how immature she acts. The fact that she has the audacity to go after a guy even after she knows that he has a girlfriend really tells you all you need to know about her. And I really hate when people blame the other woman but don't say anything about the guy but he didn't do anything, he stayed loyal to his girlfriend.

I also can not get over how the plot ends up getting turned into a slight sci-fi halfway through, that really turned me off of this book.
