Into the Deep

Incredibly drama-rific. Not in a good way but also not in a completely bad way. For a girl who's all about honesty and clearing up misunderstandings before they turn into full-on plots, though, I'm kind of disappointed that Charley didn't say the truth more often. For instance, she still hasn't told her parents about her career choice and she didn't immediately dissuade Jake that she'd slept with Lowe. I expected more spine than that. I don't think I can handle the next book. It really should've ended here. I understand why it didn't; there's a lot of hurt to unpack and get past from Jake's actions. But I can't go through this all again when it's so clear that they love each other more than they care about anyone else in the room, in their school, and in the whole world. If the next book had been exclusively about how Claud leaves Beck for good to spare herself the useless heartache, I'd definitely be up for more from this series. But that's how it goes.
