Synopsis:
Cole MacHendrick is all mystery and gloom. And he’s about to change Leighton’s life…whether he likes it or not.
When Leighton Tucker goes off to college alongside her best friends, Quinn and Wesley, she isn’t quite prepared for Cole—her beautiful but rude psych project partner. As Cole lets his guard slip, Leighton finds herself caring for the broken boy with a secret past.
Despite Cole’s warnings, Leighton dives in blindly, hoping to heal him the way he’s healing her. But will she ever get to see who he really is? Or will the darkness Cole carries obliterate everything?
I thought that the story was good but I didn't understand the importance of having so many points of view in one book. I think that the other characters in the book could have had their own books because I don't feel that it added much to the main story between Cole and Leighton.
I felt that Leighton started out as an okay character but she became needy and a bit clingy after a short period of time. I also didn't appreciate her reaction to Cole's
past. She had no reason to react the way that she did. It made no sense after what I had learned about her character throughout the story.
I did enjoy Cole. I thought he was a tortured character that kept people at a distance because he felt he wasn't worthy of companionship. His reactions to things made since as well as his guilt that he carried because of his past. I feel like I read a lot of books where a characters reactions to their past don't make sense but his did. I enjoyed the fact that he was so flawed. It added a sense of mystery and conflict to the story that made me want to keep reading. I think that the book might have been better if the whole thing was from Cole's point of view because he was the driving force in the book.
