Now, Lily is going off to college and she and Derek are still going strong. However, when school starts, she realizes it's hard to maintain a relationship while also trying to live her own life. She and Derek find themselves falling apart and Lily has no idea where to turn.Enter Jack. Everything about him is wrong for Lily and she knows it, but she can't stop herself from being attracted to him. When things implode with Derek, it's Jack who is there to pick up the pieces - and show Lily an entirely new set of experiences she didn't know she was missing.
Of course, Jack has his own problems and once Lily gets to know him better, she starts to wonder if she can handle all of Jack. When Derek reappears on the scene, Lily is forced to decide between two guys and herself. Can she find herself without losing the people who matter in the process?

Amy's Thoughts~
Lily is in a serious relationship with her boyfriend Derek. Heading off to colleges only an hour away from each other, they figure this will be a cake walk for their relationship. After 2 weeks, they discover, that is so not the case.
Lily goes from a confident, sexy woman to a jealous, insecure girl in a matter of hours. I, frankly, didn't understand this part. Derek had given her no reason at all to believe he'd been unfaithful. As far as I could tell him living his life and her not being there to see it was the problem. After a particularly nasty fight, all hell ensues & Lily hooks up with a very screwed up Jack. And after days upon days of screwing, she finds herself falling for him, and wondering exactly what is going on with her relationship with Derek.
Jack is the epitome of bad boy. And he doesn't just play the part. He's screwed up and he knows it. Scarred by his tragic childhood, he wants to be more. To be the guy someone chooses first, instead of walking away from when they hear about his life.
Overall, I found Lily to be a little erratic in her attitude and behavior. Half of the time I wanted to smack her upside the head and ask her what her problem was. Derek, I found to be straight forward, honest, & caring. He tried so hard for Lily. He didn't deserve to be treated the way that he had been by her. She needed to have a little more faith in him. And poor Jack. So desperate for love, so desperate for attention. He was dominate half of the time and a poor skittish kitten the other half. I am anxiously awaiting for Lily of the Valley - this is from Jack's POV. I wanna get inside of his head and find out what makes him tick.
