"No wonder his name was Christian. He had a major God complex."
I had fun with this, actually. I love the connection between Christian and Stella and the "slow-burn" of their relationship. It did took a while for them to get together but I don't mind the waiting because it was worth it. I love how Stella seriously changed all of Christian's perspective when it comes to romance/love. The highest point in this book for me was the interaction between the four girls together with their respective partners. Christian's POV during Josh's apartment warming was the best! I was smiling so wide the whole two chapters! (I realized how much I love Josh as well...)
The lowest point for me was the shoot out between Christian and his "rival" (lol) which I find kinda corny in a way. It was also not much of a plot twister (same with Stella's stalker). I can say Ana Huang tried with that path but not really that something I like because I'd love if there' subtle clues in the story. They just explained how the stalker can be "someone close" in the end once it was revealed.

I love how I started listening to the series' audiobook during my Feb Fukuoka trip and ended the series' audiobook back again in Fukuoka but June now. <3
