4.5 stars. I really liked this. Despite the instalove/lust, this was really good and heartwarming. Naya and Jake were so cute. I loved their banter, I love how Jake never pushed her or judged her for anything, I love how patient he was with her. Their love was beautiful. I loved mostly all of the side characters as well. Naya was so strong for everything she went through with her ex and I truly admired that. In my opinion this highlighted domestic violence really well, especially the effects it leaves on people that have went through a situation like that. I really liked how the author displayed that throughout the book, whether it was in a subtle or big way. This was really good!
