I seriously cannot get over how stunning Mimi Grace's covers are! That alone makes me want to read all her books. I wish all novels feature beautiful character art like her books do.
It wasn't the perfect 5 star read for me unfortunately. I didn't really enjoy the writing style, more specifically how the author kept switching between Jolene and Jason's perspectives multiple times during a chapter. It was like every other paragraph the author would pause to switch and not gonna lie, it was kind of annoying. I usually have no opinion on third person point of view versus first person, but I felt that in this case, the third person p.o.v. made what the characters were doing/experiencing come off as impersonal. It was also unclear who exactly was saying what- I think this book could've benefitted from an editor's touch to get those little issues squared away.
However, I did enjoy the story for what it was! The characters were great and the spice was aplenty. This is a short read that I feel anyone could enjoy. I don't regret reading this, just wish the editing was more fleshed out. I'd be open to reading more books by this author in the future though!
