I understood why Jackson was a bit of a mystery--the spoiler thing that I cannot talk about directly would not have worked very well otherwise--but it did bum me out a bit.

I am glad that besides a few issues that you enjoyed this one. I try to mix up YA, NA and Adult I get burnt out if I read too much of the same.

Don't get me wrong, some books do explore that and the second wave of coming of age for these characters can be gripping. I sometimes get turned off not just because of the sex but I feel like the storylines are overly dramatic. Like the author just wants to torture their readers and have them bawling their eyes out! Ugh! I mean if it feels right I'm all for it but there are just plot lines where the parents are dying, the heroine can't handle it, runs to the arms of a controlling but irresistible douchebag! Like hell yeah, you deserve to be in misery, lady!<br /><br />Lol sorry for the rant but for what it's worth, that's one of the many reasons why I read NA sparingly.
