I honestly loved this book! Was it the most well-written book I've read? Probably not. But that didn't bother me at all. I just got so invested in the story and the characters - especially the kooky family. The witty banter between Jillian and Beck was excellent! Beck in general was just fantastic - he was definitely a favorite character.
I was a little surprised to get a second point of view in the book that wasn't Beck. Instead it was one of Jillian's cousins, which seemed a little random. But I actually ended up liking her perspective! Maybe this book just hit me at the right time, but I had so much fun reading this book!
