As if Zoey's world isn't complicated enough, she goes from 2 boyfriends to 3. Honestly, I think that Erik is way too forgiving, he doesn't fight hard enough for Zoey even though he knows she's pulling away. And though Zoey doesn't want to think of herself as a 'slutty ho'...well, babe, if the shoe fits...

By the end of this book her relationship struggles seem to come to an end. Hopefully she can do some growing up in the next book. She's only starting to learn what kind of battle is looming.

I did enjoy the scene with Zoey's mom. I wish there was a little more interaction with them - they're obnoxious, yes, but entertaining. Off to the next book!]]>
