I went into this book knowing it would be slightly slow, but I had heard that this author’s writing was supposed to be great. However, it fell extremely flat. 

 There are so many plot holes, as well as points in the book where you think something interesting is going to happen, and it just doesn’t, there is no sense of time or a real plot during it, and the ending felt rushed and drawn out all at the same time. Very underwhelming, and a waste of my time.

The male character Knox was extremely unlikeable, he wasn’t just grumpy, he was plain cruel. Every time he showed up I felt visibly annoyed, and as soon as the split happened, I was so happy. Until he had to ruin it by showing up like he hadn’t just DUMPED HER A SECOND AGO!! The only time I actually liked him was with Waylay, in fact she and Stef were the only characters in the whole thing who I liked. Personally, I feel like Naomi forgave him way to quickly, and I was audibly screaming at her to just leave him. 
I honestly thought that Naomi should have ended up with Nash, seeing as they had so much chemistry and he was, well you know, NICE to her. 
Knox just gave me the icks the whole time, like who calls someone ‘Baby’ and swears in every other line. 
In addition, Tina just shows up out of nowhere in literally the last 50 pages, and there’s a whole abduction situation that just completely ruins any sense of reality which this brick of a book had built up on.

This story was so well written. The characters feel very stereotypical and for a while I thought the ending of the book was going to be predictable but I was so wrong. The whole book I felt so frustrated for Naomi right up until the very end. The dialog feels like "buzzfeed quiz quirky millennial" humor.
I wish that Knox's character wasn't so toxic masculinity-y. It would've been nice to see him not focus so much on Naomi's sexuality and vague description of how she stuck in his mind and heard him describe a deeper interest in her character and personal attributes. Also, his treatment of her I think is very uncomfortable like calling her pet names outside of the relationship and how he takes a lot of control over her. I can see how it can be seen as sexy but to me it came off very controlling and unsettling.
