I don't really know how I feel about this one. I like it and hate it at the same time. I like that it demonstrates that life in general and your love life in particular don't always work out the way you plan it. However, in order for me to really enjoy a book, I need to care about the characters, and somewhere in Part 2, I stopped caring for the most part. Tim pissed me off, Jace was a little too perfect, and I just couldn't muster up much of any feeling towards Ben. I really liked Part 1 and all the angst that came with it. Part 3 and the Epilogue felt rushed and too convenient. So it breaks down as follows:

Part 1: 4 stars
Part 2: 2 stars
Part 3: 2 stars
Epilogue: 3 stars

Overall: 2.5 stars
