Meh. I enjoyed reading this for the most part and it's a really easy read. However, a lot of things were wrong with these characters and I didn't find myself really attached to them or their relationship. The plot was kind of repetitive and not that original.

I liked the main characters in this book and I thought the progression of their relationship was very realistic, at least when it comes to the chapters in the past. However, everything in the present seemed rushed and too convinient and unrealistic, especially the very end. This book once again prooves how much I hate miscommunication. I wasn't a big fan of the plot twist either, even though I saw it coming before it was revealed.
