spoilers!!!
I‘m so glad that I finally read this book because lynn painter really made this book captivating and I read it SOO fast. (I mean I did read it on a flight too)
The plot lines (with the love interest and the conflict with her best friend) were very predictable but I still liked the love ending/plot
I live Wes he’s so amazing in all of the situations!! He also was soooo right about Liz’s mom.
There were some small plot lines or situations that were confusing and kind of plot holes
For example: did Liz ever tell her dad & stepmom about the car accident??????? If she did why isn’t that in the book?? I would’ve put that in the book because of her dads reaction (bc of her moms death!) and him maybe blaming Wes and forbidding Liz to see him? Also did she tell her bff? I think you would put that in the book
I don’t believe that liz suddenly ‘likes’ Laney and wants her and Michael together.
But Liz: I can’t with all the lying. That’s the only thing I can say because Maditales said everything i want to say in her Goodreads review
