Unethical

Once I read the first chapter, I didn't stop reading until it was finished. I felt like I was experiencing Payton's emotions myself! Love this story and would highly recommend!

I thought this book was amazing. Showing both sides of the perspective was a genius.

Can't put it down, just read it!

It's a captivating story in which I fell in love with the characters. Beautiful.

Payton comes alive as she struggles with coming to terms with things she can't control.

I read it in one day.

I liked how Payton stayed true to her ethics and morals. She made a lot of mistakes, but she overcame them. She conquered her fears of peoole knowing who she really was. Tough decisions were made, but she was compensated for them. Pushing one's limits isn't always bad. Loved that besides the situation of her father and med school, a love relationship was incorporated into the novel. I would love to read more.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it. Not the best I’ve read, but nowhere near the worst. PROS: Interesting storyline. Assisted suicide seldom explored in this type of novel. And who doesn’t yearn for a second chance? Quick and easy read (important if your world is busy) but not too short. CONS: I expected age-appropriate immaturity (they are college age), but the flip-flopping of both main characters seemed extreme. Feelings are not like light switches. One “explanation” in a stairwell and Payton (who was hurt and angry enough to leave without a word) appears to say “Ok. Let’s be a couple again.” The explanation itself left much to be desired. Where was the REAL discussion of what happened? Where was the tentative rebuilding of trust? I am all for lust, but it does not create forgiveness nor mend relationships. Happened again with the letters. She read one. All of a sudden she wanted to go to the prison and it MENTIONS she read the rest. It is the emotional angst that gets readers invested. I felt the same way about Blake. While I liked both characters, I am not sure why. Other than I am happy they got their HEA. On more reflection (and more importantly), I am not sure why they like EACH OTHER beyond a shared history. The depth of their previous relationship was just not developed enough to convince me they were in love even before the Mexico trip. Final con: Payton’s struggle with her father felt like an afterthought. As if it were only the vehicle to explain why Payton ran away the first time. Too important a topic to reduce to an afterthought. Although my con list would bely this . . . I did genuinely enjoy the book. Read it in one day. :)

This was my first experience reading a book written by Jennifer Blackwood.... I absolutely love, love, love this book! The story line, the characters, everything hooked from the word go. I certainly hope there are additional books coming soon.

She keeps you engaged and interested.
