I liked Colin and Summer as characters. Colin is dedicated to coding and game development even though he's good at hockey and could probably go pro at it. Summer struggles with only being seen as a pretty face and a party girl. She's passionate about fashion, determined and smart. Even though she's still trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up (what college kid or young person in their 20s isn't still trying to figure this out?)
Not quite sure why people were saying Colin was flat when his characterization shows someone who is not just introverted but smart, nerdy, artsy, kind and has a sense of loyalty to the people and things that matter to him.
I didn't mind that existence. It's been nice and comfortable. Conflict-free.
But I never felt truly alive until Summer.
I don't want to be with a woman who hides in the shadows with me, because that enables me to keep hiding. And that's what I've done for years - hidden pieces of myself from my parents, my friends, chicks, the world. I want someone who encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, and Summer is that someone.
Spice Rating: *reserved for the romance genre or books with an appropriate substantial romance subplot* this rating is meant to categorize the level of spice not how much I enjoyed it. this is a completely subjective thing.
3 spice (🌶🌶🌶) = solid love scene, around two - four scenes in a standard length book, the use of vulgar terms to explain *parts*. the desire goes hand in hand with the love and romance between the characters

the spice was extra spicy in a minimalist way where even just a kiss could make your toes curl. loved that.
i liked the couple but found some of fitzy’s issues a little too annoying and sort of inexcusable for my taste. i did really enjoy the side plots and featuring of art via video games and fashion design. this book convinced me i need to keep reading the series when i thought all hope was lost! overall, it was almost a 4 star, but -0.25 for my difficulty getting into it.
and hunter deserved better.
