When Alix's charismatic girlfriend, Swanee, dies from sudden cardiac arrest, Alix is overcome with despair. As she searches Swanee's room for mementos of their relationship, she finds Swanee's cell phone, pinging with dozens of texts sent from a mysterious contact, L.T. The most recent text reads: "Please tell me what I did. Please, Swan. Te amo. I love you." Shocked and betrayed, Alix learns that Swanee has been leading a double life--secretly dating a girl named Liana the entire time she's been with Alix. Alix texts Liana from Swanee's phone, pretending to be Swanee in order to gather information before finally meeting face-to-face to break the news. Brought together by Swanee's lies, Alix and Liana become closer than they'd thought possible. But Alix is still hiding the truth from Liana. Alix knows what it feels like to be lied to--but will coming clean to Liana mean losing her, too?

Hmmm I expected this to have more of a mystery aspect for some reason. The “mystery” aspect is cleared up pretty quickly and after it it's a pretty straight forward romance with the dead girlfriend only occasionally brought up, mostly to mention just how terrible she was. The romance felt very awkward mostly because both girls were cardboard cut outs.
More than anything it felt like a psa about abusive relationships and first love, which didn't make for a great story.
Maybe it's just because I'm constantly reading super hyped up books that blow me out of the water, but this book felt sort of subpar to me. It was good, but it wasn't anything special. It was just a book. I liked it, but I didn't love it. I don't feel like it'll be something that sticks with me for years to come. It was just average in my opinion.
