Free Choice/Sci-fi: Love Minus Eighty 2

For a YA novel, this is getting pretty complicated plot-wise. All the secrets and interconnected friendships... wow. Rob loves Winter, obviously. Or not so much; does he love her as the person she is, or the girl who needs saving? He won't be able to know unless she is revived, in which case it becomes a moot point because she'll be married to some rich old possible pervert, and if she does love him, they'll both be miserable because she'll be legally attached to her new husband. What a mess.
And then there's Veronica's tangled mess. Sometimes I think she's falling for Nathan, who she spends all that time with despite insisting he's too arrogant for her. Then there's Rob, who she seems to admire an awful lot for a single guy who's just a friend. Except he loves Winter, which is a whole different set of problems as previously discussed. So is he going to break Veronica's heart? And, as far as I can tell, Lycan is probably going to fall in love with Veronica, given that she renewed his enthusiasm for life after his sort-of-failed sort-of-successful suicide off the Lemiux bridge. Long story. She doesn't seem to feel much for him, though, so far, besides guilt that she tried to stop him from jumping and he did it anyway. Maybe if he makes his intentions clear, she'll start to return his love. Tough to tell; she is, after all, the still-single dating coach who sits alone in her apartment kissing virtual interactive men because, as she says, she has "high standards."
