Ok, I clearly spoke to soon in my 60% update. Of course Tessa and Hardin get into it again. I'm kinda over all the back and forth but at the same time these books are pretty addictive. I sure wouldn't put up with being treated that way (yes Tess was in the wrong sometimes but Hardin is a million times worse) but at the same time I keep rooting for them to make it work. I didn't expect that ending and I also keep waiting for the proverbial poop to hit the fan when Tess tells Hardin her impeding plans. I don't think I can stop here.

So, book 3?



Of course I know the answer - I going to continue reading til I get to the end of this damned series, just to see if they get their happily ever after.

Ok, so I still don't see any links to 1D, apart from the fact that after reading a few reviews and questions on here that Anna Todd had originally written this as fan fiction (which I did know) and actually used their names (which I wasn't sure when reading the first one). I understand why she would have had to change the names though. I don't picture any of the characters as any of the guys from the band, and as much as I don't mind their music, I don't want to read fan fiction about them - so I'm glad its not as obvious as I had originally thought. The only similarities I see are the British accent, tattoos and curly brown hair that Hardin has. I don't even picture him as looking anything like Harry. Otherwise, nada.

So far this book is just as addictive as the first, and I love exploring Hardin and Tessa's relationship. I love Landon and Trish, among other secondary characters, and am intrigued to see where things will go in the rest of the book for Hardin and Tessa, considering the stage they're at now (I don't want to spoil it for anyone). I'm kind of getting over the constant fighting but at the same time, its just how they are, so I suppose it's just normal. I don't know if I want to read more about them leaving each other only to return though. Just stick with it, seriously, and please don't be book 1 all over again.

All in all though, I'm loving this book as much as the first, and am absolutely addicted! There's plenty of emotional bits (both happy and sad) and plenty of quirky funny bits I find myself literally laughing out loud at.
