It was a cute read, and overall I enjoyed it. However, the attraction between Jay and Zara was written a little clunkily at times. And, according to the back of the book, Zara's issues were caused by a devastating breakup. It seems though that it was her parents divorce that messed her up. So that was kind of confusing. One thing I did appreciate was how interesting the side characters were. They all felt like real people.
