I enjoyed this one a lot! Delilah Green was fun, but I didn't connect to the characters like I did in this one- which is funny since so many of the characters are the same lol. Astrid felt VERY fleshed out and genuinely written, and I loved witnessing her growth as a character. She is very easy to empathize with and relate to, which makes it that much easier to get invested in the romance. And her interest in and dynamic with Jordan felt real.
 
I really appreciated that the big Conflict between Astrid and Jordan wasnt based in miscommunication. It was an unfortunate side effect of both Astrid and Jordan growing and starting to complete their big character arcs. And once both of them realized what they wanted and what they are worth they were able to come back together as Themselves
