It’s an interesting book, I really liked that Logan was actually interested and not so boring, also her appearance she was tall 😮 and had dyed red hair, I loved it! Their romance was cute I guess, but this book was way too long, like this could have been 400ish pages instead of 600, it did not need to be that long. I did like Eli but some of the things he said really icked me, like the whole virgin thing and the whole conversation about having kids. Like he didn’t even acknowledge Logan’s reason for not wanting kids. He just thought oh no am I not gonna have any kids, and just thought about that she would be an amazing mom. When the whole thing was that she didn’t want to take care of more people.

This book was an emotional rollercoaster. I connected to the characters immediately and this story is very character based so that made me fall in love with it. I loved the build up with both characters and how their individual stories were paced out. I loved the pacing of the relationship and how their love story played out. This book definitely could’ve been at least a hundred pages shorter since it was full of extra details and had a lot of filler. I also didn’t love the first third of the book. It was slow moving and I didn’t love the party college setting. However I loved the side characters and the found family that was built in. I loved the vulnerability showcased and the communication throughout the entire book. I also loved how Eli cared for Logan and how he was exactly what she needed at every turn. This story was just so captivating and emotional and I had the best time reading it.
