I'm really sad to start off the year with it's book. It's not horrible but it's also not good. I couldn't care for the characters and I didn't really feel the chemistry between them, it all felt very superficial and shallow. I think this story would be better off as a novel instead of a novella because there were some plot openings that were introduced but didn't get fully explored such as Hal's crush on Sacha during high school, Sacha and Hal's relationships with their families, etc. I read this with my soulmate and they mentioned how it felt just like a Christmas Movie, short and ok, and I couldn't agree more.
