Gwen and Arthur are wonderful POV characters, and I really liked getting into their heads and seeing their growth. I was rooting for their friendship, the whole book, and loved seeing it develop.
I also loved the secondary characters! Gabriel, Sidney, Brigit, and Agnes all added to the world and the story in unique ways, and I really enjoyed reading about them. I wish we had spent more time with Agnes and Brigit, but the time we did spend with them was lots of fun.
I do think that the pacing was sometimes a little wonky, especially toward the end, but overall this book was what I wanted it to be in a very good way. 4 stars

There are two really big gripes I have with this book. One; the audiobook is kinda awful. I really only like Gwen’s voice actor, Arthur’s was grating and had no clue how to emote without making everyone sound like an airhead. It really dampened what could have been great lines with a different actor.
Problem number two was the crazy abrupt onset of gore and violence in the last 25% or so of the book. Obviously, there’s conflict bubbling from the very beginning but the way it explodes and suddenly everyone has life threatening injuries and is dying all at once… it’s jarring after all the cute flirting and light relationship angst.
Besides those things, I had a grand time with this book and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a fun romance read (who doesn’t mind crazy gore right at the end).
