I enjoyed the humor and how the friendship developed between Sloan and Jason. As it turns into romance, it's easy to believe that Jason is the perfect man because his character is so well-written as caring and protective. He is constantly thinking of Sloan's needs before his own, although his music career is quickly taking off. Once again, the author tackled some sensitive subjects appropriately, keeping the story real. Of course, there are some obstacles and conflicts along the way, but the ending tied everything together neatly which I liked. This was just one of those fun, romantic stories that was great to escape into. Great author's note, too.

I had an incredibly codependent and emotionally abusive relationship in the past and saw so many parallels to it depicted in this book.
I actually hate-read until the end of the book to see if the author in SOME way redeemed the characters or their relationship with each other. I am upset to say that she idealized their relationship to the very end.
I understand that people are allowed to write what they want and that people should be trusted to form their own opinions regarding the portrayal of relationships in media. I also think, however, that it is incredibly irresponsible to glorify something so damaging as codependent/abusive relationships without including some sort of additional commentary.
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Grief, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Panic attacks/disorders
