POINTS DOCKED OFF FOR THE THIRD ACT BREAKUP!!!! JASON YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID.

Besides that though I love, love, LOVED this novel. The chemistry between Jason and Sloan right off the bat was incredible. They were so damn funny together and when they finally met up I about damn near cried. I did not expect the book to take the very emotional turn it does in the latter half. I did not like Lola throughout the whole novel and then ended up wanting to BURN THE WORLD DOWN FOR HER. She was a product of the situation she was put in and I don't blame her at all for what she did/said. 

Anyways, I'm endlessly glad that my friend bought this for me to read!!!

This book was okay. It started off really strong and then around the 50% mark it lost my interest a bit. I didn’t feel much attachment to these characters or their love story. The ending was really cute but it felt rushed. Solid 3⭐️ read. Still looking forward to the next book in the series.

Sloan has been grieving the sudden death of her fiancé from a motorcycle accident for 2 years. Her life has shrunk down to memory marking the events of their life together and scraping by until the next memorable date. Then a dog jumps in her sunroof and decides she is his. Sloan tries to contact Tucker’s previous owner until his voicemail fills up. When he resurfaces, she tells him she’s keeping the dog…and that’s how a text and calling relationship turns into a whirlwind couple of weeks before he goes on music tour. 

This book tugs at the heartstrings for sure. I love Sloans friendship with Kristen. I adore Ernie and Zane in Jason’s life. Jason and his family are pretty darn perfect. Sloan is not an easy character for me to love.

She doesn’t make great choices when she’s sad. Her network of support is minuscule. Adding a therapist would be a great start. Making some serious online artist friends would be a good idea. Having more than a single female friend is essential to breathing (and my friend group is small!) One friend and so distant from her family seems terribly unrealistic to me, so I have to downgrade the review.

aleroness's review

4.5

One of the best romances I've read all year! Well-written and the plot kept me guessing until the end. At almost no point could I discern where the story could or should go next - there was no easy out any I appreciated that! Likeable characters with believable arcs that made me want their stories to continue even as it ended.

The first half of this book made my heart so full and happy. The love present, the hope, how they met and fell in love, was all so special. What deducted most of the points for me began in the second half to last third of the book after a time jump. It got depressing, and after speed reading through the first half, it took a lot of work to finish this book. Spoilers ahead for what went wrong.

As many people can agree, I hate most third act breakups, especially if they’re solely added to creat conflict. In this case, the third act breakup was the result of the love interest, Jason/Jackson, doing what he thought was the best for the main character female character, Sloane. I cannot stand when someone makes a major decision like that for someone else, and ESPECIALLY how he majorly broke her heart right after she was learning to trust and love again. The hurt he caused was completely unacceptable for no good reason.

Jason also seemed all too perfect until this point. We don’t see any major character flaws in him, which made him seem a bit too unbelievable. Overall, the first half was a very fun read, but brace yourself for a rough second half. If you are not prepared for a book that is heavily surrounded by grief, now would not be a good time to pick up this book.

I really appreciated that this book didn't make Sloan and Jason's budding relationship easy. They were coming from very different situations, points in life, and circumstances. It was nice to see their bond grow and develop as they faced different milestones in their relationship - and I think it was appropriate to see that it wasn't always easy and required a lot of compromise on both sides. Overall this book was full of lots of entertaining twists and turns.

Sloan's fiancé had died prior to the book in a motorcycle accident. Drug and alcohol use and abuse related to a side character that fell victim to the entertainment industry. Some minor animal neglect leading to Sloan finding Tucker at the start of the novel.
