Emily wrote another winner! Tess and Ryan are so cute its painful. Ryan is the perfect golden retriever boyfriend from the blonde hair to the attitude. Tess is a mess but she knows it and improves through the whole book. I appreciate that this book incorporated Pucking Arounds "fearsome foursome" as it added context and made the book more interesting. I will say that even though there was never truly a miscommunication argument there might have well have been. Tess was constantly pulling away citing how messed up and damaged she was (she definitely needed/needs serious therapy after the whole ordeal) and it became tiresome after the third time it happened. Its hard not to get repetitive when a book is 600+ pages.
