This novel becomes the reason why I choose to pick a bad boy type than a nice guy. West as the main character of this novel proof something could only occur if you have a bad boy type around.

 Unlike the other novel I've ever read, reading this novel gives me a different sensation, I adore the author because he knows well to put a climax in part of this story, to explain the reason through the related occasion, and to arrange the question and answer in a meaningful moment. I wish I could see this novel being filmed one day. 

I do enjoy reading it, I enjoy to read the ups and downs texas and west build their relationship backstreet, I keen on the way west risk everything to help his family financially, I also agree with his decision not to tell texas about what happened to Aubrey in the first place. 

once again I love the author to make everything for a reason, as like the reason why west love to eat the Apple candy, the tattoo on his arm, texas's grandma reason not to tell other the reason why their house got into the fire, and other (u can found out by yourself)

 

west may be stubborn and already take each girl in the entire university out for a dirty night. (Lol) but who knows he carried a big problem on his own, pay all his parent's debt, had suicidal issues, blame himself for letting his sister passed away, yet he needs girls to spend a night with to make him didn't remember what's happened on his life.

Texas is a good girl with thousands of insecure and unconfidence, she had several scars covering her left face, and in any part of her body. Who will be expected that a girl like her could be the last standing girl for a guy like the west, the one who risks his life every Friday night? 

I've felt terrible at the ending of any novel, and this novel makes the list larger. I understand that the author tried to give us a perfect happy ending since their story contains too many struggles, but please life won't go the same way. There always a moment when we need to stuck on the ground. The ending is too clear and too suspicious. We don't even have time to think about what's will happen afterward, just happy and it is monotonous. 

But overall, I'm sure you guys will enjoy reading this novel. You won't get bored with the story on each page, I even didn't attend to any quotes because they examine moments, not the words. Even if the ending is not what I wanted and it might be you guys wanted.
