I’ve had this for ages and I’ve no idea why I waited so long to listen to it as it’s absolutely amazing . Cope and Penn have been best friends forever until the day Penn crossed the line and for two hers they’ve hardly spoken to each other .

This book has two of my favorite tropes: bestfriends turned lovers and rivals turned lovers and I live for it. 
Cope and Penn's love story is a long time coming, and it's bittersweet.
They bonded since childhood over having similar backgrounds (e.g. having shitty parents) and a rude awakening drove them apart a few years. 
Throw in Leah and you have the three Musketeers fulfilling a fake love triangle. 

Would have scored this book higher if Leah's character was treated a little bit better and the ending didn't seem rushed.

I’m judging myself SO HARD for how much I ate this book up. It was objectively terrible. It was full of OTT drama(that was very unrealistic even for fiction), underdeveloped side characters, and plot holes…..but sometimes I crave toxicity and this book DELIVERED.
