Isla and Josh's relationship starts to fall apart after Josh gets expelled from school early on in the school year which means that Isla and Josh are now in a long distance relationship and that he isn't allowed to talk to her for awhile. The distance and lack communication causes their relationship to become strained and it being strained leads Isla to believe that Josh doesn't really love her because she no longer believes that she is worth a guy loving because she doesn't know who she is.
The character of Isla feels like she becomes a different person in the second half of the book since in the beginning Isla just seemed like someone who was shy and a bit inexperienced but also someone that didn't doubt that she was worthy of being in a relationship despite not having her future planned out. In the second half of novel Isla become a character that thought that her relationship ending was a given so she decided to break her own heart rather than let Josh break it first, this mindset seemed too cynical and self sabotaging to fit with her characterization from the first half of the book.
Overall I thought that book was okay, it had a sweet couple that it's plot was centered around which made it easy to root for their happy ending even if I did think Isla's character changed rather abruptly halfway through the book. Another thing in the book that I didn't like was Anna and St. Clair suddenly getting engaged towards the end of the book because well I never liked those two together and it felt out of place and too soon for the characters to get engaged.
