Ugh this book… okay let me just say I loved this book in the beginning. I loved how the characters just bounced off each other. The flirting? The tension? I was so invested. I love Stephanie archer and her books sooo much but the ending for this book was not it for me… I was really disappointed. For me it felt super out of character after all the growth for both characters to go through such an extreme break up, and then getting back together. I truly felt like it was not needed at all… it was hard for me because it was a 4/5 star read for me and then at the end it just felt so not right. I couldn’t imagine the FMC leaving like that after all the work she did with herself, and the MMC it almost felt like all the time they took to develop their feelings, being friends, clearing the air, and falling in love was not worth it for her to just ditch up after admitting she loved him… idk the ending was just not it for me :(

I’m a huge fan of Stephanie Archer but this book confused me. It felt like the characters weren’t really developed, one day she’s being mean and the next day she wants to kiss him. It was readable and that’s why I gave it 2 stars.

A funny, fast read with the cutest moments. But it did start to drag on a bit. I feel like the FMC self sabotaging her own relationship was predictable and made the book longer than it needed to be. But the ending was so sweet. Overall, I enjoyed the read, but probably won't read again.

I’m so in love with this book omg. It was really funny and such a nice and perfect read. I think it was a bit fast paced but it got a lot of story in for being a 300 page book which was so great. All of the characters are 10/10 as always with Stephanie Archer’s writing. I wish Gemma was able to let go of her doubts a bit sooner but I loved that Reid was always so supportive of her. I kinda wish we had a bit more of an emotional side of Reid but it’s cute that he was able to be that stability that Gemma needed anyways.
