Both characters have strengths and weaknesses that balance each other out and had me rooting for them the whole time. Not only did I love Shannon, like the river, and Johnny, but I enjoyed all the size characters too! Gibsie, Joey, Claire, even Lizzie proved to be lovable. I was initially intimidated by the page count and find size but I found myself able to fly through chunks when I made sure to dedicate time! Overall such a cute high school sports romance I will certainly be continuing!

Johnny and Shannon were set up beautifully. It was a realistic timeline and for that I applaud Chloe. They were instantly placed with each other. Instead they had the friendship stage where you both know you like each other, but you just won’t admit it yet. Been there, still doing that as we speak, which is why it’s so fun to read about.
This actually set up perfectly the second book and that’s just something that needed to be done well. But god that ending. I WAS SO UPSET. WHY DID MY POOR SHANNON GO THROUGH THAT. WHY WAS SHE GIVE THOSE HORRIBLE PARENTS. I’m so glad she had Joey and I’m so glad he stepped up the way he did even though no child should have to. Has she not had him, she truly would not have survived. I also loved how Johnny was with Shan. He cared so much for her and even when they were just friends, he put in the effort to make sure she was okay. He’s now become one of my new favorite book boyfriends.
