I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The dropped 0.5-star is largely due to the miscommunication trope not being my personal preference. However, it made perfect sense in the setting and with these characters.
Madison, our FMC has had a complicated and traumatic past that leaves her jaded and insecure. This leads to her making some questionable decisions while 18-22 years old. She is well written and her character development is amazing towards the end of the book. Her internal struggles and process to heal are depicted pretty accurately, although not in-depth.
Jaxon, our MMC, is all in on his best friend from the very beginning, and uproots his life senior year of college to get back to her. His story arc isn't as definitive as Madison's, but he does some growing and learning as well.
The ultimate conflict is nicely resolved and ends in a satisfying HEA.
I'm excited to see where the rest of the PCU cast is taken in future stories!
