I started reading this book in the car on my way to the beach and I think reading it was a major lost of my time.

First anyone who knows a bit of english can spot at least 10 grammar and orthograph mistakes in the first few sentences. There is even a mistake in the title which doesn't give a good first impression by the way. I'm not english speaking, but these blatant mistakes cannot be missed. Not only that, but the lack of a good use of ponctuation cut the flow we usually find in an author's writing style. Ponctuation doesn't exist so you can put a period or a coma wherever you feel like it, it actually serves a purpose and I strongly recommend you learn how to use it before you decide to write a story.

Some sentences are missing words which left me no choice but to try to complete them. Either I failed miserably or the story is poorly written but I didn't understand a thing

Despite that, I continued reading hoping the storyline would be so good it would eclipse the author's mistakes. Unfortunatly for me and for other readers, it wasn't.

Just in the first chapter we are introduced to aproximatly ten different characters who sometimes have similar names, such as her brother and her boyfriend who are names James and Jake ( I still don't know which one is who and who's the one trying to rape her, if you did understamd, please enlighten me).

We don't know anything about the character's past; hence, we don't know how they became friends, how they know eachother or why Scott and Ali ( the couple who got married while they were drunk) hate eachother. The drama starts so early in the story we don't even have time to assess the nature of their relationship.

Anyone who read the story probably agrees that the reaction of the characters are completly unrealistic. When they first tell their parents about their drunken mistake, their parents are "happy" ( That's actually the word used) . What parents in their sane mind is happy about their teenager not only getting drunk, but also marrying a random guy?

There is no time frame in the story, I thought it was the week after the party, but turns out she already gave birth. No wonder the story only has a few chapters if it goes that fast, it probably ends with their deaths at 80 years old at this rythm.

If you want to know the story, instead of getting more confused by reading it, you can just read the titles, they tell pretty much everything that's going to happen in the chapter; the author could've at least put a little suspense.

There is way too much drama in the story and it all happens way too fast. I'm not sure if I understood clearly but at one point they are all pregnant or something. They must be a pretty fertile group of friends...

Talking about this pregancy makes me bring up another point concerning the unrealitism of the story. They sleep together one night and the morning after she's already feeling the side effects of pregancy and when she goes to the doctors they say she's pregnant. Hello people, it takes at least 2 or 3 weeks before you can tell you're pregnant...

After all that, there are a few confusing mistakes. First of all, in the first chapter it says "I have never done surfing" and a few chapters later it says that she met her boyfriend James/Jake ( I still don't know which one is the boyfriend) while surfing. Second of all if it was her first time surfing, how come she doesn't take classes and still takes the third wave perfectly ( I don't know the theoric terms for surfing sorry). Next, it says she goes to the party with a blue dress on but when she wakes up with a black dress. Congrats little girl, you're now officially a magician.

You might think I'm rude, but I'm just expressing my opinion, if you want someone to comment on your story, here it is. I still have to give a thumbs up to the author though, because eventhough there are so much mistakes, I found this book in the "what's hot" list and I don't know how she/he did it with a story like that.

Needless to say, I didn' enjoy the story ( well the few chapters I have read, I could'nt bother finishing it) and I really don't recommend it.

(A/N this is not proofread sorry)

I will do another review when I get 50 reads :)
