*3.5

While this wasn't my favorite Hannah Bonam-Young, it did have my favorite MMC. Matt is so perfect, he is the blueprint for every man ever. I have never been so in love with a MMC before.

Other than Matt, I felt like this was a pretty mid-level book. The bus plotline was very slow and not very attention-catching to me. Like no real conflict happens in this book.

I did just really love Matt and the way that he treated Lane. I love a MMC who will do anything for a FMC. He really gave Wesley from The Princess Bride vibes with his "I can fix that" attitude. I am obsessed with him.
