While this book was really cute and Ryan Shay really was the perfect book boyfriend that he was made out to be in other people’s reviews, I couldn’t get over the the representation of Chicago. That may be a super nitpicky thing, but it really bothered me. I didn’t notice in Mile High because they barely spent anytime in Chicagoland, but most of this book took place in Chicago and I have a few critiques:

1) They move to a house “a half an hour out of the city” where Ryan says that they can see so many stars. Yeah, I’ve lived an hour outside of Chicago for the majority of my life and there is so much light pollution that I’m more likely to see an orange sky than more than three stars most nights.

2) People that live in Chicago love talking about what neighborhood they live in. The fact that it’s never mentioned what neighborhood it is simply wouldn’t happen.

3) Since the majority of this book takes place in winter. We love to complain about the weather here, especially how cold it is with the lake chill, so the fact that it’s not mentioned at all is bizarre to me.

I really did enjoy this book, but I’m just really protective of Chicago. I know that these are seriously the most nitpicky things in the world, so this is basically my campaign to be a beta reader for any of Liz Tomforde’s future books set in Chicago!
