I LOVED this book. It’s so fun and easy to read, and I instantly felt myself pulled into the world and its characters.
I love both Zorie and Lennon and seeing how Zorie grows throughout the events of the story from someone who plans meticulously to someone who learns to kinda go with the flow. I loved seeing these two grow back together, and just their overall chemistry is amazing and so fun to read. Lennon is annoying in the most endearing way, and Zorie’s the perfect one to combat him.
I also loved Zorie’s relationship with her mom, I feel like it was really well done, especially since she’s technically a stepmom, and they grow to be closer than Zorie and her dad. (Who is kind of a scumbag, by the way). I don’t even know how I feel about Zorie’s dad at the end, I kind of feel bad for him, but at the same time I really don’t. I also loved Lennon’s parents as characters, they were so funny anytime they appeared on-page, and I love how they incorporate his dad into it too. I felt genuinely bad for Lennon when he revealed his dad died, and his crying just broke my heart. PROTECT THIS MAN.
Zorie’s hives were also interesting to see, as I had never heard of that condition, and I feel like reading about that kind of thing really expanded my horizons and opened me up to the realization that others have those kinds of conditions. Not that I was completely ignorant before, but I had just never heard of anything like that before other than excema. It was really cool to see.
The one tiny, TINY problem I have with this book is a couple of amateur spelling and grammatical errors. It happened enough for me to be annoyed by it, but I am NOT going to lower my rating to a 4.75 because this book does not deserve to be rated that low.
I love this book so much. This is my second favorite YA romance novel I’ve read (right behind All This Time by Mikki Daughtry and Rachael Lippincott), and that is a HIGH compliment. 5 stars. AMAZING.
