I wasn't a huge fan of the writing style but Colleen's storytelling definitely makes up for it. There's a fine line when it comes to authors sharing details and I find that it's very easy to miss the mark and word vomit every single unnecessary detail. Colleen was able to create a perfect balance. I enjoy books so much more when I am able to picture the scenes and images. I think that Colleen did a great job at helping her readers connect to the book.

It was okay. The story was sad and it definitely kept my attention. I'm just tired of the "women will fix men" storyline.
The book starts out in Tate's point of view and it seems like she's going to be the main character. Then it switches to shorter chapter that are Miles' pov. But miles was very clearly the main character. He's a troubled guy, a successful pilot at the ripe age of 24.. he's even promoted to captian during the story.
Meanwhile we barely learn anything about Tate. That's fine, it's just not my cup of tea to have (who I perceive should be) the main character be so 2 dimensional while the love interest's character is so fleshed out.
Also, they're 22 and 24 and established in their careers which feels unrelatable.
So Miles cuts himself off from love and happiness but of course, things change when he meets Tate.
Honestly, he treats Tate pretty terribly, even if it was just a hookup situation. He does things that scare her and you kind of assume he doesn't realize he's doing them, until the end when you get his present day POV and you realize he's not clueless. He can read her, he just doesn't care. He doesn't mind intentionally being mean or intimidating to her.
