Started off good, but then they just kept having so much sex that I ended up skimming thru the rest of the novel... Don't get me wrong, I love reading the hot scenes but it just had waaaaay too much and I felt as if the two didn't have enough time in the story to 'connect' and 'fall in love'... Like seriously wtf. Lol.

Was a bit different from the usual books I read, so I was really intrigued throughout the book to find out what happened next! The heroine was soooo badass!! It's so rare for me to love a heroine, but this book was one of the exceptions! Just thought that it should've been longer because I felt as if they resolved their issues in only a short period of time.... and the issues were kind of extreme too... Well, I mean if I was the heroine I would've let him grovel more but overall, it was a great book.
THE MUSIC. OMG. I played every song that was mentioned during a particular scene AND IT FIT IN SO. FUCKING. PERFECTLY. If you're going to read this, play the music!! Makes reading it so much more enjoyable!
CANNOT WAIT TO READ "UNTIL YOU" IN THE HERO'S POV!!! GOING TO START DEVOURING IT NOW!!
Loved Em, I liked Hunter, but I expected more out of him... I feel as if the story was centered more on the rivalry between the two clubs an4.5 stars.

When my copy arrived, I practically devoured this book! I have exams tomorrow, but I have no regrets using a day of my weekend just reading this!
I looooove Beck and Riley. I'm so happy for them! They went through a lot, and it's great to see that they finally got the ending they deserved.
Beck is probably one of my favourite heroes. There were just so many layers to him that made him feel so real! He wasn't perfect, but I love him!
I'm so glad that Beck and Riley have matured throughout the series. I'm leaving it to my imagination to conjure their future babies hehehueheueheue! :)
I feel as though the author has a chance to continue the series if she wants to, because she left enough loop holes for it. If she does, I will gladly read it :)

I have never been at a lost as to what I should rate a book. My emotions toward this book are so conflicting. I don't know what to think anymore. I'm at a complete loss for words.
HOLY. HELL.
Can someone please tell me what the fuck I was thinking when I read this book?
SERIOUSLY.
Downloaded it last night after waking up from a nap and read this in one sitting! It is now 4am. I don't know if those 6 hours of reading have been a waste of time, or a thrilling ride... I. Really. Don't. Know!
This has been the WORST emotional rollercoaster of a book that I have EVER read in my entire fucking life! I wish I could tell myself to go back six hours ago and convince myself not to read it!!!
Okay.
So, the characters.
At first, I liked the hero and the heroine. Their flaws were hinted at, but I didn't think that what the heroine did would be so. fucked. up. I mean, I sort of felt like she was the bitch in a typical love story, but then I realised the other chick was just as bad. Yet I think Olivia was much darker.
I get it. People make mistakes. Everyone has a dark side inside ourselves that we nurture from time to time. But... what she did? I could NOT get past it. In fact, I should have dropped the book from that point, because it didn't get better from there.
More fucked up shit happened.
I think the only part I actually enjoyed reading were their interactions when the hero had 'amnesia'. And the ending. Oh. God. I'll get to that soon.
There were many times where I wanted to chuck my bloody Kindle at the nearest wall. I despised the heroine. The hero was no saint, either. But man, I hated the heroine. It's weird, because I never become emotionally invested in characters that I never really like. Yet there was something about these two that drew me to them. So, I kept reading.
From being majorly pissed off throughout 40% - 90% of the book, reading the last 3% made me burst out into tears. I don't understand what happened. 20 minutes before the ending, I was seriously contemplating to turn the power of my Kindle off, but considering there was only 20% left, I kept on reading.
The next thing I know, I was bawling my fucking eyes out. Heck, it wasn't even the last 3% where it happened. It was probably 3/4 into the last 1% of the book where it happened.
In some ways, I'm glad I kept on reading. From reading my review so far, you probably think I'm trashing this book. I am, yet at the same time, I'm not. I've experienced many emotions from reading a book... From laughing hysterically to being emotionally vulnerable the next. But I have never been so pissed off, and yet manage to applaud the book for bringing out these foreign emotions in me. I went from being pissed off to crying so hard and feeling so miserable over characters that I hated.
As much as I badmouth this book, there was something I liked about it - that drew me to read on further. After writing this much in the review, I still don't know what it was. Was it the fact that it burst my bubble and made me realise that not everything goes the way it's planned? That maybe when I find "The One", I may not get to keep him and be with him, despite our feelings for each other? In some ways, this book was sort of realistic. People become broken. Lost. Sometimes, love is not enough for what has already happened. Not everything can be overcome because not everything is a fairy tale that is guaranteed to have a happy ending.
The ending was painful to read. Yet, I loved it. Even the epilogue. I had a glimpse into Olivia's soul - or what was left of it - and felt immense pain in those last few pages. For what could have been. For what was lost. For what she will never get back. It was so amazing to read those last few pages. I still don't know why I was so enthralled by it. But it was those last few pages that redeemed this book for me, and I don't think I'll ever forget it.
One thing's for sure - I will always remember this book. Probably to remind myself never to approach a book like this again. I didn't like what I felt when I read this book. Heck, I became so emotionally vulnerable at a story that I didn't even like. Or at least, I didn't want to like it. However, at the same time it was exhilarating to read a book that was out of my comfort zone. To experience emotions that never surfaced from reading other books. Doesn't mean I'll do it again, though. Lol.
Oh, word of warning, stay AWAY from this book if you're a sucker for HEA's like I am. This book will shatter you. Seriously.
Even though this book is most certainly an unforgettable read for me, there is a very minimal chance that I will be reading the next books. I MIGHT just peek into the third book, but the second? GOD no. No, no, no, no way. I fucking hate Leah. Bitch doesn't even deserve her own perspective in the series. Besides, I read some reviews and unsurprisingly, everyone said she was a psycho. Even if there's a chance that she might be likable, I don't want to take that chance. I just DON'T want to like that bitch at all.
Unless the third book is a HEA, which I sort of don't anticipate anymore (because of something that happened in the epilogue), I think the series should have ended at this book. It should have just been a stand-alone book. Things have just gotten way to fucked up, yet I think I prefer it that way. If I read on, I'm sure the fucked up-ness will only increase dramatically, especially in book 3. ...more

Great, realistic characters were shaped and molded throughout this novel. There was also a lot of informative background context regarding Australian society at the time, yet at the same time the book remained interesting. I don't think there was a character I hated in the novel. Perhaps it was because everyone was so real and I could always understand where they were coming from and somehow relate to each of them.
Every character in this book helped Josephine, our protagonist, to grow. I thought she was quite immature at first, but then I realised, being about the same age, I sometimes saw the world how she did. She's only a teenager after all. Yet it's scary and daunting to think that she hasn't really even lived yet. I mean, it makes me sort of scared for the future, but isn't everyone else the same?
This book was somewhat similar to many other books I read, as it deals with the downfalls of life and beating the shit out of the damned fuckery that happens in it. It deals with a lot of the problems and worries we face, even today. Everyone goes through them in their lifetime.
It was so inspirational. It's all about wanting to soar high and forget about all those hurdles that seem endless to us. If I read books like this at the time that I had depression, it would have probably lifted my soul from that dark abyss that took me ages to destroy.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this book, and I will most DEFINITELY be reading On The Jellicoe Road, especially since my friend has kept telling me to read it for the past three years! I should have read Marchetta's books waaaay earlier! Ah man!
