I really like Jenn Bennett's novels. This is my second of hers, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It had a bit of a slow start, but once Lennon and Zorie got going, I was hooked. It's the perfect summer read. I liked that it had a bit of depth, it wasn't just a teen romance. There is sex in this novel, but it's not explicit. It's sex positive, safe sex representation, and has consent representation. I really like that about Bennett's books.
