I didn't like this one at much as the first one, but this was still a fantastic book. 

Logan and Grace are just as sweet a couple as Garrett and Hannah is. And I loved that when Logan messed up with Grace, she made him earn a date with her and the tasks she gave him to do to earn that date were funny. 

The other characters in this book were great as well. I really liked Grace's sophomore roommate. She ended up being a way better friend and roommate to Grace than Ramona(Grace's childhood best friend and freshman year roommate)was. 

Grace's dad was really sweet and I love how he comforted Logan despite Logan being late to picking up Grace after he had to clean up one of his father's drunken messes. I almost cried during that scene. You can really see how much Logan was struggling with the situation with his dad and how much he needed that "father-son" like moment, even if it wasn't from his own dad. 

Grace's mother was also really great. I love how carefree and funny she is and I loved how Grace's parents got along so well. I haven't really seen that in a lot of books before. It was refreshing to see an actually healthy and amicable divorce in a book.

The characters in these books are really relatable so far and I love that. I also like how these first two books have real life issues incorporated into the plot and I'm excited to see if that continues in the next few books.

I'm really loving this series so far and I can't wait to get into Dean and Allie's story next. And I'm excited to see more of Sabrina as well. The interaction between Dean and Sabrina in this book has me curious about what happened between them to make them dislike each other so much. And how that's gonna affect Tucker and Sabrina's relationship(with Dean and Tucker being friends)since I know the fourth book is about them.
