I didn't like the casual view of sex these people had. He breaks it off so he can play the field while he's at college, he only comes back as he has an injury.
His ex-girlfriend is pregnant and he is going to pay for an abortion. Not likeable at all.

I’ve read a few books like this one. I do it to just get away from reality for a bit. This one was very predictable and too shallow. Bree just gave in too easily - there was just so very little substance to the story.

La historia zafa... Ex novios que se vuelven a encontrar y logran volver a estar juntos. Creo que es poco verosímil como todos los obstáculos se superan tan rápida y fácilmente: Colín le rompió el corazón, Bree se acostó con el mejor amigo de él, la ex novia quiere abortar y ella se muda a otra ciudad. Claramente no se pueden resolver tantos conflictos de manera satisfactoria en poco más de 100 páginas. Creo que la autora debió elegir uno o un par y centrarse solo en eso: por ejemplo, como ella reconstruye su confianza en él...

Rather than talk about each novella in the trilogy, I’m going to do the whole shebang at once.
The first novella was probably my least favorite. It lacked any conflict at all. The couple broke up in the very beginning, there was some heartache, fast forward a few years, a few awkward scenes, then bam, they’re back together. That all happened in probably the first third of the story, the rest of it was spent following them around as they flirted, talked and made out. That was it. That made for a bit of a boring story, with no action, tension or excitement. The rest of the novellas, though, had more content to keep me interested.
I liked the variety of characters. There were rich kids and poor kids, abused kids and privileged kids, nice kids and asshats. You knew from the beginning of each story how it would all end for everyone, no real surprises there. Some of the situations they found themselves in, however, were unbelievable: Briana forgave Colin awfully fast; for someone so virginal, Nicole got naughty pretty quickly; Rich’s Rec Center was just too perfect a solution…
There were some deep situations the characters got into that were handled nicely, although they were resolved a little too quickly and cleanly, in my opinion. All of the novellas were zippy and moved along at a fast pace. And I liked the 3 brief bonus chapters at the end of the trilogy that acted as epilogues for each novella. I enjoyed seeing the couples a bit later in their lives.
Overall, the trilogy was entertaining and fun, with a touch of substance. A perfect choice for a beachy summer day.
The sum up: Quick, flirty and fun.
