3.5
From the moment that my friend recommended this to me, I couldn't wait to read it. Once I got it, I jumped right in. I loved the story. I loved the slow build of it, how they got to know each other. I liked the characters (except the horrible best "friend" that should have been pushed off a cliff).
What I hated was the ending. I guess, in a sense, there's a happy ending. But it wasn't the happy ending I wanted! For me, there was no HEA. And I have a huge problem with that. I read romance novels for the HEA. I want, no, NEED that HEA. And it pissed me off when I got to the end and all there was, was a goodbye.
The end itself lost the book a star. And since I'm pissed at the book, I knocked off another 1/2 for the horrible best friend.

I didn't think Lila was horrible as much as I thought they were mismatched as friends and neither was a good friend to the other.
