While this did have a quicker pace than I was expecting I really liked how things played out in this book.  The plot and characters balanced each other out nicely.

Dylan’s whole entire family were so adorable. The wholesome friendships, sense of family, and love for their passions, this book had so many cute moments.  It’s lighthearted but had its angsty moments here and there.
