So this was definitely a cute read, however the pacing was really slow and I had a hard time liking Trey. I think the way he treats Ariel especially towards the end was hella uncalled for especially when he knows how mean Blaire can get towards others. I also found it very dishonest of him to tell Blaire that there was nothing really going on between him and Ariel especially when they obviously have an emotional connection and almost kissed before he and Blaire broke up. While that doesn't excuse her actions towards Ariel, I definitely don't think his can be excused either and I really wish he took his own advice of taking time to figure himself out rather than jumping into another relationship with Ariel at the end. While the two are definitely well suited for one another I think both needed time to grow. Overall though the book was enjoyable and the majority of characters were lovely, I definitely wish we saw more of some of the side characters make appearances.
