Really debated between a 2/3 star for this book. Decided on a 3 as I did enjoy the book, however the characters fell a little flat for me. The relationship between Joe and Cate didn't have the oomph that it needed I felt.

i kept waiting for it to get better… or even good

I give this one 3.5 stars (I rounded up). Joe was an extremely likable character, and the kind of dream guy that most any girl would want to be her boyfriend, but I had a little trouble connecting to Kate’s character. It’s ironic that Joe was the one who was raised with money and privilege, but she was the one who acted spoiled and immature at times. I did enjoy most of their story though. It was a fast, fun read.
