While I enjoyed the core part of the story, I felt that the ending was very rushed. It felt like we had just reached the climax, only for the story to declare that it was complete. I went from crying to confusion after realizing the story was done. I feel that Christina Lauren could’ve added more to the revelation part and really tie the loose ends (we did kind of get a closure from the epilogue-ish section but it wasn’t enough to feel complete). The major root of their conflict came and went so fast I wondered if I missed something.
Something I liked about this book was the communication between Macy and Elliot. I liked that they were comfortable enough to communicate with each other and not hold back. Sure it was difficult sometimes, but communication is hard and I respect the fact that they talked. The problem is that they communicate so well sometimes and more often than I’d expect that it felt unnatural. Maybe it’s because I’m used to miscommunication or lack of communication, but the fact that they talked about their feelings and insecurities so often felt so foreign. Honestly I was just shocked. Like even the communication with Sean felt unnatural (if you read the book you’d know what I mean).
Overall the story was really good. Even if the end was rushed, the other parts made it so much worth it. I couldn’t put it down and I fell in love with most of the characters (all of the important ones at least). I would recommend it.

Definitely mind the tags and trigger warnings if you're thinking of picking up this book.
The reason why I'm giving this book 0 stars is because at the end we find out that the reason why Elliot and Macy broke up was because he had drunken with another girl thinking that she was Macy. This is rape and it's never brought up as such??? Idk the book is kind of like "uwu sweet baby Elliot" When he's a sex offender??? Idk this soured whatever good was in this already mediocre book.
