Bellamy and JT meet at a party that he goes to in search of his sister, Brynn. Bellamy and Brynn are best friends who met in college. Bellamy and JT instantly are attracted to each other but his sister decides to throw a tantrum and block him from getting to know her. His whole family was a bit unhinged and too into each other's lives to be believable at times. Brynn acted like a two-year-old and even got sent to her room by her dad despite the fact she is 19. Bellamy wasn't much better when it comes to acting like an adult. She and JT were both novices at relationships and she whined, acted bratty and was generally disappointing. She questioned JT and wanted a prince charming even though she professed she understood what reality was. Her "schooling" of JT and, at one point, Brynn was ridiculous. Her thought process was juvenile and not very adult. When JT needs a bit of time to get past being mad, she blows it all out of proportion and calls in his family to "help" her. It solved nothing. Her questioning his feelings and expecting him to just take her word for things was just sad at points. JT was high-handed at times but did try to explain why. The book was okay but not really my cup of tea at times. Too much immaturity and not enough substance at times.
