A well paced new adult romance that spans young adulthood. A spicy college live and one who got away trope. Loved this one, but the ending was a little too quick and clean in the last 15 pages.

Meh. I enjoyed reading this for the most part and it's a really easy read. However, a lot of things were wrong with these characters and I didn't find myself really attached to them or their relationship. The plot was kind of repetitive and not that original.

This book was really fun and interesting to read, the relationship between Matt and Grace is pretty predictable although it is like a lot of other stories still find this one unique. Read this book if you like second chance romances or miscommunication tropes. I definitely still find this book underrated, cute, kind of light-hearted but I would say a little cheesy. Give this a chance since this what the book is about!

I liked the main characters in this book and I thought the progression of their relationship was very realistic, at least when it comes to the chapters in the past. However, everything in the present seemed rushed and too convinient and unrealistic, especially the very end. This book once again prooves how much I hate miscommunication. I wasn't a big fan of the plot twist either, even though I saw it coming before it was revealed.
