I generally hate stories involving cheating, but I hated Cory so much that it made this tolerable. I loved Jane. Merit was incredibly annoying, but I wanted Jane to be happy. I liked the way their friendship shifted over time, though I had issues with the way the author was basically insisting that these were two straight women who just happened to fall in love. That felt yucky. I know my review is making it sound like I didn't actually enjoy this book, but I did. I fell for Jane when Merit did and I felt just as trapped by Cory and the basic “okay” memories they shared.
