I really liked this one. The world is getting so lived in, with so many familiar faces, and the two leading characters were lovable and fleshed out, with realistic strengths and problems. I was really rooting for them.

I had a lot of fun reading this one! I wasn’t 100% convinced in the beginning because the texting dialogue wasn’t particularly interesting, but once the characters started actually talking to one another, I loved the banter and dynamics at play. Also, it was refreshing to read a romance where the love interest clearly communicates their interest and desire from the beginning. Personally, I found the portrayal of how trauma messed with your reaction to to healthy relationships really relatable and LOVED the way Abby Jimenez handled it at the end. A perfect summer beach read!

1.0

If you’re into boring, predictable books with idiotic asshole characters and think that the only way to be happy is to get married with kids, this is the one for you. 

Also I hate the inane phrasemongering in these books.  „Love shows up.“ „Love is meeting someone where they are.“ idk how about some original writing?

Only reason this is getting stars at all is because it has a semblance of structure and the characters don’t all blend together (only because their only personality are the issues they have.) 

tl;dr this pissed me off. Cover is great though. 

edit: took another 0.5 because the premise is so fun but it’s more or less abandoned in the first 100 pages
