emotional tense

Strong character development: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I let this book marinate a bit and I settled on 4.5 stars. I very much enjoyed it- Ali’s more emotional and tense books (I recently finished Not in Love) really appeal to me.

I, as always, hate the word c*nt used in a sexual context! I feel like a broken record because this is like the third or fourth review this year where I mention this.

Lukas and Scarlett are barely legal and I’m just too old to fully enjoy a college setting. I’m a decade older than Lukas! I would have preferred them to be aged up and maybe both training at the same swim/dive center in their mid-twenties. That being said, it was still an excellent book and worthy of the hype.

This book has the right amount of everything.
Character building, world building, character depth of emotions and realistic relationship highs and lows.
Well composed- I did audio, not reading.
Loved it.

A delight to read. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The humor was right down my alley, I found almost all the characters to be likeable. I enjoyed how the main couple's relationship develops throughout the whole book. It was exactly what I wanted from a lighter hearted romance where I could just enjoy it without being slapped in the face with toxic relationship dynamics.
