10/10. This has got to be one of my new favorite romances. I wasn't even planning on reading this book right now but I am so glad that I did. I am not usually someone who has book boyfriends or crushes, but Brendan has made it to the top of the list (with Peeta Mellark, obviously). The first about 100 pages were a little mediocre but after that, I practically couldn't put the book down and was constantly thinking about it even when I wasn't reading. I love the character growth from the characters and all of the ensemble characters as well. The ending felt somewhat abrupt with not a lot of resolution time but not too much that it threw me off. I love this book and I highly recommend.
