Books like Sink or Swim

When I began this short and easy-to-read series I was delighted with the teenage angst and romantic dilemmas (although I warn its a little racier than most YA), but the end of this trilogy made something in me really angry. Both Coll and Art have issues, but where Coll is sweet and confused, Art is a straight narcissist who manipulates, womanizes, and shows a complete lack of empathy time and time again. Just when you think, "Oh, he really does have a heart underneath all that chiseled beauty." Bam! He turns out to be the !@&% that you thought. The only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is because sometimes there are guys like that slinking their way around the world. I was dumbfounded with the ending; I'm just going to pretend that Coll learned a life lesson through his jerky experience and will find someone worth loving who will love here wholeheartedly back.
