MY REVIEW:

So can I just say Abby annoyed me a lot in the beginning to almost the end? She’s super selfish and only cares about herself. She doesn’t care about the people around her and it’s hard to like her at this point. She’s stubborn and arrogant. This heroine was hard to like she was so set in her ways and what she wanted.

She also kept playing this hot and cold game with Luke while also lying and miscommunicating with him. I feel like there were a lot of issues that could have been resolved with a simple conversation.

This same thing happened with her sister Louise, they couldn’t get along because they didn’t talk. They just continued to assume what the other was thinking or feeling, it drove me insane!

But lets talk about Luke, can you say swoon??? Ugh tall, dark and handsome what more could a girl want? He’s also sweet and kind and always helping Abby out. And sometimes I feel like she doesn’t deserve it.

So fast forward into the book, I started to see a different side to Abby and thing maybe she’s not as annoying as she seems. Then she starts to treat other people better and starts to really think about what she wants when it comes to her career and future.

Since she had a life all planned out and that blew up in her face, she had to figure out what she really wanted out of life, because she was forced to, which was a good thing because I think this made her happier when she knew what she really wanted.

So even though I really didn’t like the miscommunication between Abby and Louise, I really enjoyed seeing their relationship grow and they become closer. I started to enjoy the dialogue between them, instead of getting annoyed.

“That’s Luke!” I exclaim, twisting in my seat to watch him go. “He just drove past!” “What?” Louise’s eyes widen as she glances in the rearview. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure.” I almost strain my neck as we miss our exit, going around again. “That’s his car. Where’s he going?”

“That’s the road to the hotel. It can’t be him.”

“It is.” I slap the dashboard in frustration. “We have to follow him.”

“But what’s he doing out here at this time of night? Unless he—” Louise breaks off with a loud gasp. “Do you think he’s going beat up Tyler?”

“What? Why would he do that?”

“For your honor!”

“I lost my honor the summer before college, thank you very much.”

“I mean the honor of you. He could be going to fight Tyler for—”

“No one is fighting anyone! Go after him.”

“What if he is going to go beat him up?” Louise glances at me. “Please don’t tell me you find that attractive.”

“Of course not,” I say automatically. “That’s so unhealthy.”

“Right.”

Right. “I mean, I guess a little part of me wouldn’t mind if—”

“Abby!”

“Well, don’t put the idea in my head then! He’s probably just—”

Louise blasts the horn, cutting me off as Luke’s brake lights turn on.

“He heard us,” she says, waving triumphantly at him as he slows down.

“You think?” I glare at her.

“We could have just met in the parking lot.”

Abby and Louise following Luke was the funniest! And the way that they seemed so confused! It was hilarious. This just shows the growth in Abby and Louise relationship.

WOULD I RECOMMEND:

I would recommend this book because even with everything going on it was very captivating and it pulls you in.

And I did enjoy Luke and Abby together when they weren’t making assumptions about each other. I also enjoy the growth of Abby and Louise’s relationship. 

Also Abby’s growth throughout the book. She learned about herself and her career goals and what would actually make her happy.

But the name is a little misleading, there’s not much rebounding, but there’s a whole lot of miscommunication and assumptions.

I do feel like this book was really slow to get into, I feel like things didn’t start happening until the book was almost over. The whole beginning and middle wasn’t really much going on besides Abby getting use to living in her small hometown again.
