I have not read a Tara Brown book that I didnt love. Aimee is a smart, beautiful girl that has her whole life ahead of her until something awful happens to her at a party and changes her life forever. I was sucked into this story from the first chapter and I can't wait to start the second book in the series. I definitely recommend this book. 5 Stars!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting.

I enjoyed the book though it is quite young.
This was my first book by the author.
I did enjoy the characters and the development was fairly good.
It is a bit all over the place, and, as I stated previously, it is written as if by someone very young.
I enjoy YA paranormal books and will continue with the series. But, I do wish this book would have been a little smoother and less flighty.
Overall, it was a nice read and I give it a solid 3.5 stars.

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016
The first time I read this, I couldn't get into it...must have been in a mood. I was in the mood for more from Tara Brown since I've exhausted her library, so I decided to give the YA version of the roses a go. I'm in and this book turned out to be every bit as awesome as I hoped. I still prefer the original version but the YA one had its charms

This is a very YA book, I would suggest 12-18, basically 8-12th grade. I feel like I would have raved about this book as a Young adult.

2.0 out of 5 stars Love the story line but the end was confusing.
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018
It's seemed like the last 5 or 6 chapters was cut short and didn't make much sense at all. Very hard to follow along with and could use someone to proof read cause there were sentences throughout the whole book that had errors. A little more time fine tuning and it would have been a great book!

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing through to the end. I'm kinda gutted for Shane and pissed off with Blake tho. I would have liked it to be a happily ever after type book but none the less looking forward to the next one.
