Summary (Courtesy of Goodreads):
It’s obsession at first sight. Blaine meets Cassy and a casual friendship turns into cyber stalking. He follows her every action on social networks, both in person and online. When Cassandra ignores him, he resorts to crazier actions, writing songs, stories and poems to impress his dream girl. To conceal the identity of the young woman, the college student changes all references to her name by a single letter—Cassy becomes “Kassy.”
Art imitates life. A student named Kassandra believes the messages are for her and falls deeply in love with Blaine. Sex, drinks, rock & roll dominate the couple’s relationship. Will Blaine realize Kassy is the one or will he continue infatuating over Cassy, the one who got away?

Cover: Cover features two ladies whom play role in the book. The ladies are nicely drawn. Font is pretty, but the cover is no way near professional.
Plot: The plot was disjointed and not easily understood. To be frankly honest, I'm not 100% sure what happened. There were a lot of grammar issues (left out punctuation, spacing, and general grammar mistakes). At the very beginning, I wasn't sure whom was saying what in the conversation. I had to backtrack to figure it out. The general plot was just all over the place. There were so many unnecessary bits of information that throws the reader off the main story line. This story just doesn't flow well. This is definitely for a mature audience. Far as I could tell, the synopsis on the back didn't match the content of the story. But since I had difficultly understanding the plot, this may have played a part in my opinion.
Characters: I couldn't identify any major character development. Character background felt forced and did not connect well or play a big part in the plot.
(EX: Kassy had back surgery when younger because she grew too fast. This has nothing to do with the story what-so-ever.)
Series: Not a part of a series.
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars.
