I enjoyed the plot and the characters but it was just rly long and it felt like it was going to end but then it didn’t and it just kept going and going 
Never mind, I didn’t, it should not have been that long, I liked the side characters more than the main ones, Anastasia was very annoying and stupid and Nate has the personally of a piece of cardboard so just no. 
The more i think about this the more it sucks, the only thing that was decent were the sex scens and Nate's friends and the title doesnt even make sense and i dont want to read her other books now.

This book was so so cute. Nate and Stassie's relationship is goals, in every way possible. I so enjoyed reading a romance between a girl I could in some ways relate to with a guy who was so far from toxic that to call him that would be rude.

Lots of stars because NO. MISCOMMUNICATION. TROPE. This is not a drill. I have found a fluffy romance novel without the third act break up!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a big theme with consent in this book, and I wanted to bring that up as well. I really appreciated how the author made it so clear and important.

like how you can't kiss someone just to kiss them, when they clearly don't want it or want you...

Now, the book was quite long, so if you're a slow reader or if you're looking for something quick, be wary of that. Otherwise, it was amazing, it had short chapters, and it CAME WITH A PLAYLIST. I repeat, the book CAME WITH A PLAYLIST on the first page, and the playlist included Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift. Need I say more?

Also, there's a smutty scene to the song Cruel Summer, and it has changed the way I listen to that song. And I'm not mad about it.

Thank you to Atria Books and Hannah Grace for a copy and the adorable package. <3

I loved how they handled therapy and trauma in this book. As someone who is studying to become a therapist the chapter where it was just a session was fun to read and I liked it. Loved the epilogue and not shocked by what ends up happening. I also loved the whole no commitment thing because it was a nice reminder of how far they’ve come. I just loved this book as a whole.
