I really liked this book. I felt the ending hesitation is what took it down for me. I just didn't enjoy like the constant reiteration of why their hesitating, realizing how they feel for each other, saying they shouldn't hesitate, and then cycle repeat. Other than that though. I really liked the dynamic between the two. I liked them both individually. I loved their interactions with the younger individuals and I loved their passion and determination. I thought their banter in the beginning was cute, and I loved how they both grew as people together. As always, I loved the friendship dynamics and all the characters taunting. Every book that goes by I love Tate Ward and Rory Miller a little more. I really hope the next book is Ward's book. Also, I love how every season Ward has a "person" that he helps haha. Overall, I really liked the book!
