I would recommend this book. This book drew me in from the first page. I loved getting to read from two different t perspectives. However, I did find myself getting frustrated during different parts of the novel, but I guess that what makes for a good book! I also feel like the language used could’ve been less formal during the conversations the characters have, for a 22 and 24 year old, proper grammar doesn’t feel fully realistic. Overall a decent read to get you out of a slump!

3.0

really not sure how to feel?? first of all i hated how cheating was like the main focus of this book and how it got romanticised and justified. like what? had no idea this was the trope going in. i liked the characters besides that and there were a lot of emotional moments. tbf id have been fine with ridge ending up with either of the girls. 
what i cant look past is the homophobic undertone of sydney saying one of her major flaws was how she kissed a girl when she was youngee, the use of a transphobic word not once but twice and the use of ableist language throughout a book which clearly tried to represent the deaf community which is majorly hypocritical. im really disappointed by this and ultimately this book really didnt age very well.
