When I started to read this book I felt like the author must have the same sense of humour as me, because that was the first thing that got my attention. I know this is a romantic book, but it was like when you finally met someone who perfectly understood all your jokes. Also, the opening scene was amazing, in many other books, you have to wait for these things for so long, but not here. I loved it, I was 90% sure that this book would get 5 stars from me, but just to be sure, I waited till the end to not overreact.
Stella and Alden are both amazing characters and I am sure, that everyone will like them straight away. Also Amma, as soon as she came onto the scene I loved her, she was funny and she definitely knew what she was doing and I was so glad for every moment where she appeared.
The story itself was cute and hot at some point, which is everything you expect from romance these days. What I really appreciated was that there wasn't some big bad issue between the main characters, as it usually is with many stories (nice start, cute middle part, terrible something happens, they sort it, happy end). I am not a big fan of those parts before the ending where things are going bad, so I really enjoyed this book and every page without some extra drama.
I felt like the author was also trying to go a little bit deeper with Stella and her idiot ex (been there, hated it, glad it ended up) and the way he made her feel and also her struggles earlier in life and also with Alden and his family issues. These were all addressed in the story and I think it was handled very nicely, explained and sorted and everybody can be happy in the end with their issues buried deep down.
I loved this book and it was an amazing story which I enjoyed a lot. Without any hesitation, this book got a full 5 stars from me and I am going to read some other books from Elle because I have a feeling that they will be wonderful too.
