She was to immature for my taste.

First of all, the title of this book is stupid. And doesn't even really tie into the book much. But once you get past that, it's actually a cuts story with likeable characters. I didn't love it as much as Fallen Crest; but it was fun.

I started reading this book at around 10:30pm just thinking I'd read a few chapters before I'd go to sleep. Next thing I know it's 5:40am and I was done with the book. I haven't read a book straight like that in ages. Completely sucked me in. I loved it.

Anti Stepbrother was a fun to read book, but Tijan did a wonderful job of keeping this trope-tastic book classy.
Tijan managed to give this novel a surprising amount of depth as well! This book is first and foremost a romance novel. But it also deals with finding and accepting yourself, loneliness, duty versus desire, brain injuries and mental health stigma, death and overcoming grief. THAT IS A LOT TO PACK INTO 323 PAGES!
this was my first Tijan book but definitely not my last!!
I give this book 6 stars! (5 for the awesome book, and an extra one for my new book boyfriend Caden)

All the feels.

Such a wonderful book! I laughed, cried, and just loved everything about this story. All the characters were so well developed. Just a very cool read.

love Tijan but this book wasn't for me

This book was just okay for me. I didn't love any of the characters and couldn't create a connection with their stories. Kevin was especially unsavory. I couldn't stand him the entire read. I did however truly enjoy the slow burn friendship and then romance between Summer and Caden. Definitely not my favorite work by Tijan.
