Both the storyline and characters were kind of flat and there was barely any development.

I genuinely couldn’t figure out the plot besides them wanting to bone every few scenes. There were so many areas of the story that could be developed to make it have more depth (Allie believing in love despite everything with Sean, Dean’s party boy image when in reality he’s actually more than that, their differences when it comes to love) but for some reason, the author mainly focused on their physical relationship, which got annoying about quarter of the way through, not gonna lie.

I thought it was over when they finally got together as a couple but Beau’s death at the end felt so random. I get that the story is part of a series and it might further develop in the next book but it was so rushed and unnecessary in this one.

Had high hopes for this story since I was pleasantly surprised by the first book, but this one was sadly not it
