I had been wanting to read this one for so long and it let me down so badly. The characters were all immature and by the end I still wasn't convinced that the two main characters should be together. I didn't really like either Gavin or Thea and didn't have any reason to root for them as a couple. Gavin still had red flags at the end and Thea seemed like she got over all of her hurdles way too fast. Gavin is a big baseball player yet there was barely any baseball in the story! And when the title has 'book club' in it, you would think that would be more of a focus. The book club angle could have been leveraged waaaay more than it was. There was also some really icky wording which put me off as well - the phrase 'plundered her mouth' was used twice. Blech 🤢

It was a quick listen and definitely a way to pass the time on a long car trip, but I will not be continuing the series.
