I know that this is the third book in the series but I haven't read any of the other books in the series as this is my first book from this author. 
I thought that the book starts off with an interesting premise albeit predictable. The characters seemed interesting enough and they appeared to have good chemistry. I thought that the author portrayed Marco's feelings about the accident that he and Ryan were in well. The guilt did seem to be eating him alive. The only character I can say that I truly I liked was Ryan and he isn't in much of the book.  I enjoyed his perspective on life and his views on the accident. It didn't feel as if he and his sister were siblings though. There was something off about their relationship that made it feel more like a friendship than a familial relationship. I didn't like the main the characters all that much. They were bland and it felt as if I had seen them before in other books that are New Adult. 
It felt like there was quite a bit going on with no set up and then with little development. It was hard to sympathize with what the characters were going through when I don't feel like the author gave enough background to give the amount of depth needed. I wish that the author would have focused on one plot point so that it was more developed.
