Bulletpoint thoughts on this one: 

• I liked the characters, but they felt unreal... almost too perfect. Shawn was almost a characature of the "good guy". I know Lacey lampshaded it in her thoughts a few times but it was just too much of an idealized world that I couldn't find a grip in. 
• Stakes felt non-existant for a couple reasons. 1) It was so clear from the jump they should be together that it was never really made clear why they weren't (other than instance that they were "best friends", which leads to...) 2) There was a lot of "tell" about their friendship rather than "show". A jump of two years from the last book and BOOM! Besties! I wanted to understand more about how their close friendship developed independent of their mutual friends. It's even said multiple times they didn't hang out solo much prior to the events of this book --- that's "best friends"? 
• After the first couple, the sex scenes felt like retreads of the prior ones. Very little was shown to us about either character during the sex scenes... they could have been any interchangeable personas. 
• Dialogue often felt unnatural and not like something people would actually say. This was especially jarring in the more heartfelt moments.
