She’s a great character, and although I was initially concerned about the love triangle aspect of the book, and questioned some of Livie’s actions, I found that I could empathise with what she was feeling, and I cheered, raged, despaired and fell in love right along with her.Īnd that is mainly because Ashton is made of awesome! Yes, he’s arrogant, and he constantly pushes Livie away, but he so obviously cares for her. The story follows Livie on a journey of discovery as she learns to let go and experience life, figure out who she is, what she wants, and finds the courage to go for it. And then there’s the fact that Ashton can’t seem to get her off his mind either. So why can’t she forget Ashton? And the situation becomes even more complicated when she learns that they are not only roommates, but best friends. Cute, sweet, and a good guy, he obviously likes her, he fits perfectly into her plan, and is everything that her parents would have wanted for her.

Livie’s memories of that night are shady, but she remembers feelings things with Ashton that she’s never felt before, so when he tells her to forget about her night, she is understandably upset, and resolves to get her life back on track.Īnd so along comes Connor. Following a hilarious morning after scene featuring lots of nakedness, some epic banter and surprising tattoos, she discovers that the hottie is campus sex-god, Ashton – captain of the rowing team, arrogant ass, and man whore extraordinaire. Livie’s first night in College sees her dragged out to a toga party (yes, really) where she gets drunk for the first time and sort of hooks up with a smokin’ hot guy who introduces himself by stealing her Jell-O shot right out of her mouth. Always the good girl, she is a straight-A student, never gets in trouble, and is living her life in order to make her deceased parents proud, and she is determined to succeed. We got to meet Livie in Ten Tiny Breaths, as the younger sister of the heroine, Kacey, and now she is all grown up and off to Princeton. Oh my God, what a beautiful, beautiful story.
