But it was cute and had a sweet happily ever after with a book inside a book which I loved. It’s a good beach read for sure.

In the end I disliked the main characters so much, that I was fine with them being together. Lol
I would not recommend this as a romance, perhaps as "chick lit".

This is a second chance romance and in most cases the second chance romance characters have seriously unresolved feelings. While that is true of both characters in this book a couple of elements of Kara’s character in this book we’re contradicting and threw me out of an otherwise cute story. Kara not only has unresolved feelings for Ryan, but major trauma surrounding the death of her father which occurred shortly after their break up. That trauma makes Kara consistently reject Ryan despite their feelings for each other. But Kara only rejects him at points in the story that are useful to build tension. Her hesitation magically disappears when it makes sense in the story for them to be close. That lack of consistency in her feelings is entirely out of character of Kara and made elements of the story feel incredibly forced.

When Ryan and Kara were good, they were really good, but the rest of the time...not so much. I still have conflicted feelings over the ending, and how the last fourth or so of the book played out. This book is definitely an interesting ride, and although it's not the fluffy romance it's marketed as, it does have its own merits.

But unfortunately there was a pretty big moment that really took it down a notch for me. So I can't decide on a rating. Read content warnings before you read. Message me on Instagram (same username) if you have questions.
