3.5

lighthearted medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Good writing for the most part. Unnecessary additions at the end and climax was abrupt/unrealistic. Very spicy.

As a girl having her own mid-twenties crisis, I needed this book. Hannah's talent for realistic characters you can believe in never fails

the bench for her dad?! I bawled like a freaking baby 😭😭😭

I'm not gonna lie, it was the schoolie bus conversion that got me to read this book...
Overall it was alright, but I didn't feel super connected to the characters or their relationship. I'm not into friends with benefits when it's clear to both people that they want more - it's just not very interesting.
The writing was good, but I do wish the bus conversion was more of a plot point, it was over before it started really. I did appreciate reading about Lane's relationship with her sister, and their healing journey.
