I wanted to like this story and romance but this book seemed to be more about revenge and very hate filled. I do think that this book was different in that the narrator   talked to the reader. I did enjoy the romance between both people and at separate times. I just wished that I loved it more , but it was hate filled for me.

 Sam is OCD and this year she wants to be different. She has been friends with the crazy eights since kindergarten. She is feeling on the outside , and no one knows about her OCD.
She meets Caroline who helps her break out of her shell. She joins a poetry  club and isn't welcomed at first. She also hurt AJ ( the guy in charge). She realizes what she has done to AJ and apologizes to him. She also starts writing poems which help with the OCD. Sam is also a swimmer  and this helps her out too.
Sam makes mistakes but she also talks to her therapist  who helps her. She also starts sliding away from her friends and making new ones and finds love. AJ asks her to be blunt & even explains about his songs.

This book was amazing and I learned about OCD and more about their thinking. I loved the romance aspect of this book and the many wonderful  poems through out this book.

Wow what a fast moving book. Arcadia didn't always make the best choices during this book. I can see why she needed a break. I loved that this book had memories mixed through the story. I also loved the romance with one of the boys. This author has become an auto read for me.

Celie is working as a chocalatier in Dom's kitchen. She has had a crush on Joss for the longest time. He goes off to fight with the Legionnaires for the past 5 years. He finds her and he wants to woo her , but she has changed. She is still heart broken over his leaving. Dom hasn't married Jaime yet but they do play an important role with these two.
Celie and Joss have communication issues , and he has plans for them. He wants to be the hero , but the princess has recued herself and they both end up saving each other.

I adore this new series and loved the romance between them. I wanted to smack Joss a couple of times just to make sure that he talked things out. I loved that they both changed.
