This book was well written. There was super realistic commentary, the characters were more level-headed than much of what you see in drama romance books where emotional-attachment cheating is involved, and the characters are likable. Also, one of the characters is deaf, so it introduced a different dynamic than what I keep used to (which I liked)!

PROS: 
•The characters are realistic—they don’t have extreme mood swings like you’ll find in a bunch of romance books.
•Only a little cheesy
•Though there is cheating involved, it’s mostly in the form of emotional attachment, so there was no spice up until the second to last chapter.
•This book presents different forms of intimacy outside of spice, which is actually really sweet.
•There were two points that caught me off guard and actually made me laugh out loud.

CONS:
•I don’t like the emotional cheating (and physical too, but on that end it was just a kiss compared to these characters being FULLY EMOTIONALLY CONNECTED on a VERY romantic level) that happens in this book.
•
I don’t know quite how realistic it is to move in with the guy across the courtyard that you’ve only have a few text conversations with and looked at across balconies… but I also understand that it’s a ROMANCE book and also Ridge is a very kind character.
