Not my favorite book
The story centers around two very clichéd, one-dimensional characters and attempts at plotlines that fail on most accounts. Boring, womanizing boy becomes weirdly obsessed with boring, virginal girl three seconds after meeting her. He stalks her until she consents to date, has a lot of sex with her, and then never manages to move past their three month long college romance once it ends. Not once did I ever understand what was so special about either character, save for the fact that Baylor likes to wear Dr. Seuss shirts and Gavin might require treatment for priapism. What plotlines there are tend to be poorly realized and trite. The book is mostly about Gavin's penis and how badly he wants to use it, and that's just not an enduring plot.
The writing itself is not bad (though beware that some of the language, especially from the male character, is fairly vulgar). However, the flat characters and missing plot made it hard to finish this book, and I definitely can't see myself reading the other two books in this series.
