I am so gutted this series is over. I want to read about these characters forever. 

I went into A False Start thinking no characters could beat Mira and Stefan but Nadia and Griffin sure did put up a fight. This story broke my heart and healed my heart. Was I ridiculously frustrated in places because how dare anyone tell a young woman what is or isn’t right for her? Absolutely. Did I completely understand why this tale had to take the paths it did? Absolutely.

My only criticism is that I think the book could have been a bit more concise, but, then again, I’d also happily read about these two forever soooo… who am I?

It was a well written book but the tropes were predictable and at times I felt like the character banter lacked. It was more along the lines of insta-love which when done well can really be adorable but this one needed a little more development. On top of that the characters focused soooo much on the age gap and mentioned that age is just a number and that since she experienced trauma it makes her older in a sense? But it was kind of annoying how many times it was brought up.
