I will start with the things that I loved about the trilogy. I loved the fact that Juliette's character was an engineer working in a male dominated field. I have not found this to be a common attribute of female characters in books, and I appreciated it. I also loved the love triangle in the book. I have to say that I am team Nate, as although Zach sounds really attractive, I find his lack of communication towards Juliette annoying, none the less a good read for me :) Lastly, I loved the female friendship portrayed in the book. It is not often that you read about a group of female friends, but more often just one friend, or a housemate, and they usually come second to the love interest.

Although there was a lot I liked about the trilogy I also found a few things that I struggled with. I found it hard to relate to Juliette even though we are the same age. I found her at times to be boring (especially in the first book), and found she did not have much character- she couldn't make me laugh. I also found her extremely mature, but then called her vagina a hoo-ha which made me cringe, as I could not imagine her saying that in real life. I felt that I lacked a connection with Juliette, and this makes me sad as I was hoping to relate to her a lot considering we are the same age.

Overall I liked the books. I would have to say that I could only rate the first book a 3.5 stars, and the other two a 4 stars each.
So overall a 4 stars for the author- Bravo.
I look forward to checking out the further books in the series that focus on other characters as I may relate to them more so than Juliette :)
