This was a very cute, very sweet story. It didn’t quite match up to Still Beating for me but I really really enjoy that with Hartmann’s books, the dark elements are never the sole focus but rather the journey to healing is the focus.
I cannot tell you how many of my notes are me basically just cooing and awwing at almost everything Oliver does. Now he is a very well written man and Sydney is very lucky to have him.
Sydney’s character itself fell a little flat to me and was very in the shadow of Oliver and Gabe. I was much much more interested in the both of them then I was her - not a bad thing just a bit boring.
The two books in this universe I’ve read so far have definitely swayed me to pick up the others in this universe, provided the plot seems interesting enough.

Thoughts: Amazing read, Sydney was not a favorite of mine for the first ... idk 50%, she completely redeemed herself in the last 20-30% IMO. I was NOT expecting this read, very much a new favorite.

I give this book 2,5 stars. It intrigued me at first and I thought this would be one of my favorites reads this year...but no it was soo boring in the second half. I didn't like Syd that much, she was kinda annoying. And Oliver idkkk, he was cute and innocent but I didn't connect with him like I did with Dean. Their relationship was lacking, it felt kinda basic for me. So I just skipped alotta chapters to find out why he had the word lotus written on his arm and who the person that attacked Syd was.
