I enjoyed this book. Am I mad it's yet another Reylo, absolutely, but at least it was less obviously in the past timeline. 

Speaking of the past timeline, that was the stronger aspects of the book to me. I loved the MMC's POV. He was so awkward and goony and it really showed their chemistry and what they both needed from each other. I missed that in the present timeline - I felt that we really didn't get any time with them together in the present and feel the draw of them coming back together. I did think having the timelines have one POV respective to each of them was a fun choice that was done well.

I also wasn't a huge fan of the cartoonishly evil villain. It was predictable and added a phony tension to the last act of the book.

This is so nitpicky - but I'm so picky about covers. Why do they both look so sickly. The color choices of purple and green, love, great, totally fine. But the characters are grey. why. 

Overall, I still had a good time with this one and will keep an eye out for future Julie Soto's.
