This was so cute! Loved this face-paced sweet read. Olivia was definitely my favorite character and I so appreciated the author's representation of the complexities of her personality. I related to her a lot and I just loved how she talked about her feelings. I also loved the honesty that was so apparent in this books representation of PTSD, sexual assault/revenge porn, and abandonment issues. It is hard to unpack all of those things in a book that only takes place over 3 days, but Johnson totally did it well. I also loved Peter's character, he was so lovable and goofy.

imma be real. they were too nice to olivia i know shes going through it but i had it up to here by the end. shes still cute tho
praise first, fun book, interesting, deep and believable characters, there's some corny bits but it's a romance so that's a freebie in this genre, i love how different the lead characters voices are from one another and how strongly that comes through, olivia and toni chapters are night and day, supporting characters are well turned out and have their own charm
negatives are i found myself putting the book down a lot, it didn't feel urgent, i didn't feel pressed, for all the strength in their voice the characters don't linger with me, it felt a little like peter could have been replaced by a precocious labrador and the plot wouldn't have been affected, the end fell flat and it felt kind of rushed, the unreality of the book seeped in a few times where things were slightly too fantastical to work
i wanna say it's the kind of book i'd recommend to others but i think in reality because of it's weak resolution i'm going to forget it, and that's a shame
