This was a cute, quick read.
I really did enjoy Mackenzie and Cooper as a couple. They brought out the best in each other and had such intense chemistry. I got through the book rather quickly simply because I had to know what happened and how their relationship was developing.
The first half of the book reeled me in the second half did lose me a little however. Dont get me wrong I was all for Mackenzie and Cooper scenes, every one had me smiling at something and I liked seeing Cooper's friends accept her. Mackenzie was standing up for herself and fighting for what she wanted which was so amazing to see but I felt like there was a lot going on for no reason.
Cooper's mum coming back, the money getting taken, the random arguments over tiny things all just felt a little out of place. Like they were put in to make the book longer but weren't needed for the plot.
The ending also felt very rushed to me. Mackenzie doesn't find out the truth until around 90% of the way through the book. I wasn't a fan of the way she found out. Especially since Heidi spoke so cruelly about her behind her back and then the next chapter we were made to feel sorry for her??
After the truth came out it felt like Cooper wasn't doing enough to try and explain or win her over. He mentioned sending gifts but we never actually saw him do anything.
The chapters were filled with other parts of the story rather than the rebuilding of the relationship which is what I wanted. Considering the extent of the lie Cooper told and how horrible his initial plan was I expected more. But his grovelling felt basic.
He put a paragraph on her website and got some chairs and she forgave him. Like what?? I can't imagine anyone in that situation giving in so easily. Even though she truly loved it him, it would be hard to trust him after that, and he didnt really do anything to gain it back.
It was like the way they made up every other time they argued even though this fight was so much bigger. And then the books ends. After his big "grand gesture" that's it. No epilogue or anything. Felt like I wasn't really getting closure which was why I could only give it 3 stars. Felt like it was unfinished.
I would recommend because I did really like the couple but be warned the ending leaves a lot to be desired.

I’ve been in kind of a reading slump where I’ve hated every book I’ve read recently and this one was no exception. It’s probably not as bad as I thought it was but for some reason I just really found it so annoying.
First there’s lots of cheating and for people who. Plain to be in love and what not it’s very strange morals.
Second the rich girl poor guy makes sense EXCEPT I cannot believe this girl made a multi million dollar company that’s essentially Reddit while in high school.
Third this book happens over 6 months and the couple we are supposed to be rooting for just sleep together and fight…? I don’t know the best scene in this whole book was when they were at the theme park. I just didn’t think the chemistry was believable at all.
Fourth I know it was probably set up for a sequel or spin off but the brother constant getting in fights and keeping secrets was never explained? And the weird mom that shows up for literally one chapter??? None of it made any sense.
Ok so maybe it was as bad as I thought. I’ve never seen outer banks but this felt like a weird shallow less interesting version of what that show would be.
