I'm conflicted about one of the reveals at the end. I think it's was passed over entirely too easily. But as a romance book, this was definitely one that I was invested in. It was a decent page turner for me, and it was overall enjoyable. I think the best parts were the flashbacks and getting to see Elliot and Macy learn and grow together.

I loved the authors use of suspense and foreshadowing but I tell you what I didn’t like.
Elliot was raped. His friend basically ruined his life on purpose. I could have used at least acknowledging what Emma did was not consensual and the effects of that on his life.
This could have used a separate book or a 1.5 showing them in college and the actual fallout from the night .
Elliott was also bloody awful to Macy after he talked about the night when she didn’t respond the exact way he wanted her to. Him being as cold as he was, was so off brand for him. How his brother didn’t say , uh , El maybe a minute to cool off ?
A man that wants forever ran off into the dark awful quick.
I wonder if we shouldn’t have explored a bit of Sabrina talking to Elliot at the picnic where it was alluded that there is far more to the story ? Put something in his mind that it wasn’t just about that ? The guy is smart and seemed to be really good picking up her cues all book and then when she broke down and counted to 10 he walks away? This part made me cry more than anything else in the book. This girl was alone. Really alone.
Aside from this , I loved the characters. It’s a great book but not exploring Elliot’s rape and Macy acknowledging the non consent missed the mark.
