I absolutely devoured this book. It was so incredibly messy and fun! I mean hooking up with your ex-fiancé’s new fiancee’s ex-boyfriend?! Sign me up!!
Miles and Daphne’s relationship was so lovely. Miles is just so GREAT. He’s so nice, and friendly, and considerate, and caring. I love me a fictional man who is so involved with the community. I really adored his growing relationship with Daphne.
I also really enjoyed Daphne’s character arc as a whole. Realizing who she is as a person, what she wants out of life, and sticking up for herself. She went through a lot in this book and she grew so much. I loved watching her make friends, especially with Ashleigh.
I AM knocking half a star off for that STUPID 3rd act conflict though. It was absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. These characters had absolutely amazing communication and you’re telling me he couldn’t be honest with her??? Yeah, no.
Regardless, I did really love this book hence the me-finishing-it-in-3-days.
Also I WISH we had 24 hour Read-a-Thons?! Like that sounds SO FUN!!
