4.04 AVERAGE


I devoured this one. I was skeptical about YA Ali, but I loved every second of it. I loved the family dynamics. The banter was top notch as always. I will never tire of the impossibly tall, fit, and grumpy Ali Hazelwood MMC.

I was not expecting to like this one as much as I did. The main characters are really cute together though and I loved how there was also some focus on other important relationships like Mallory's family.
