*sigh* this book nearly broke me and my stupid heart. I loved every second.

The blurb made me believe these guys would put up a bit of a fight and make it interesting but they were pretty quick to give in and be mushy. It was really hard to care about them and stay interested.

I really did enjoy this book. The story was very cute and I really loved the characters. I felt that the relationship moved pretty fast for only knowing each other for about 2-3 months. That didn't seem very realistic. I loved both Cal and Jules. I did find at times I would get super annoyed at Jules when she was wallowing in sadness and self pity. I know that it was realistic for her to feel that way but it just annoyed me so much to read the same stuff page after page about how upset she was. This book definitely makes me want to read Cooper and Katherine's story though.
This book just didn't do it for me. Nothing happened. Nothing. So much of the character telling us how he/she feels. The majority of the book was one person missing another and not believing how he/she could fall so fast for another then, boom! It was over. And then...it wasn't. HEA. That's it. Kinda boring.
Jules is a career-focused woman with no intentions on changing. Until she meets an equally career-focused man in Boston while at a conference anyway. Cal is the man of her dreams in so many ways. She can't bring herself to a one-night-stand but he can't tell her he won't see her again, even if she's living in Malibu and he's in Boston.
This was such a heartfelt story. Jules is open and vulnerable, Cal is too logical for his own good, but their long distance relationship is so sweet. They make time for each other, they send each other messages knowing the time difference means they'll get them when they wake up. There aren't many LDRs in romances but I loved this one. Their struggle is real and relatable, but thankfully it still has an HEA ending.

They definitely moved way too fast and didn't discuss things that they needed to. I feel like I'd be like that. I'd rather pretend that the issues don’t exist and not show my emotions than say everything about how I feel. That's how I feel many people are in relationships. Should I text? Should I call? How long should I wait before I text? Should I bring this up? Ugghhhh emotions.
I knew that there was some moment coming in the book when someone would make or break the relationship. I was thinking about what I would forgive. I was thinking, Cal couldn't do anything so horrible that I wouldn't understand or forgive. And then he did what he did and I wanted to hurt him. Then I was happy when she got those texts and then I realized they were from her ex but that was what Cal needed to be saying. That made me hate him even more. I was feeling what she was feeling. Anger, sadness, and more.
I felt like the balance was exceptional between the two points of views. It worked well with the story because I really needed to see her pain of him not talking to her. I needed to feel all of what she felt during that time.
I'd never read a book about a long distance relationship before so that was new.
Considering I listened to this book, sometimes the balance between the perspectives isn't right for me. Usually, I prefer to hear the female narration for most of a book that is narrated by both. I felt like with this book, the male narration wasn't too much for me. It was just right. When I needed Cal's perspective, he stepped in. When I needed Jules to be back, there she was. Absolutely loved the narration for this book.
I was also intrigued by the fact that Cal was a straight guy with a gay best friend because I don’t feel like I see that a lot.
