Reviews with content warning for Abandonment - Collide

Collide is a fun and quick-witted read. It is primarily a romance, of course, but features a handful of sub-plots that bring both mystery and a more realistic human element to the story.

Summer and Aiden are both such warm characters, and I really loved seeing their individual growth as they got to know each other and let down their walls. In general, however, I think the entire cast of the college kids was just wonderful. Every character played such a stand-out role and I wanted to learn more about them (particularly Eli and Dylan who I have so many questions about).

Just a super fun, chilled and funny book. I really liked it.

This was a cute romcom and a great pick since I wanted something that was feel-good and an easy read. Parts had me laughing, and knowing the next book is about Eli I’m excited.

Banter and spice and a joyful, sweet couple? Sign me up! Summer was such a strong FMC and we need more characters like her! Aiden was so sweet and I love that him being in his first relationship wasn’t a problem or storyline like it is in other books. The group of friends are a wonderful addition but wish they would’ve meshed together more to really create that found family aspect. Take notes!!! This is how you write an epilogue! Perfectly answers all the questions you have about their future! Bal Khabra should teach a masterclass for real!

Perfect read. Lighthearted with witter banter and yet has important topics that deepen the connection with the characters and story. I glad I got to know Summer and Aiden. It’s one of those books I’d want to read for the first time over and over again.
