They really didn't have to be related, and the author really didn't have to keep reminding me.

After reading this book I am going to make my new years resolution to read the synopsis of each book before I read it - because I went in blind on this one and was just not prepared. 

I was definitely entertained before getting 50% of the way through the book, but pretty much as soon as you hit the half way point everything is (to put it delicately) intimate and weird. 

To be honest, I skimmed the spicy parts because they didn't make much sense, and the random "uncle Jake's" grossed me out.

ehm... Idk what the hell am I supposed to say after reading this crap. No offense... Kinda. Anyways, this book is terrible. I know I gave a one star, and that's because I love Noah, and only Noah. Okay... Maybe Jake just a bit...except the fact he's a pedo. But Kaleb? REALLY? I mean... The girl is so naive to even realise how terrible he is and then just ends up with HIM? anyways... Don't read it was not good... Again sorry Penelope. Actually, I was very disappointed when I read this book. And that's because, I never thought Pene would do something like this. 

update: penelope is definitely the type of person to write this
