I can't believe this was written by the same person who wrote Planes, Trains, and All the Feels because WHAT IS THIS?? I really did not care for it whatsoever.
I couldn't feel the chemistry between the two leads, and at the start I even shipped Nora with Benji because he was, at least, more interesting than Sebastian.
The first half of the book was overall better, the second is where it really went downhill for me. I kept rolling my eyes every time there was a sex scene, because they felt really out of place in this story. Not to compare AGAIN, but I didn't get this feeling with the other book I read by Livy Hart, so this just wasn't put together the best.
The audiobook was fine, and I liked the feuding families, but that's about it. Maaaybe I'd read Benji's story if he got one and maaaaybe I'd give Hart's other books a try, because there's always a chance they could work for me like PTAATF did.
