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?

My biggest qualm with A False Start is that it was just too damn long. I skimmed the last probably 30% because by that point it was just dragging on with a side plot that just really wasn’t necessary in my opinion.
Aside from that though I absolutely loved Nadia and Griffin 🥹 the build up to their relationship was great and my man Griffin has a way with words 🥵

I think I’m some cases, age is just a way to measure the number of years you spent without the person meant for you.
