I really struggled with how to rate this book. 
The first 100 pages I was having the time of my life with this book. Lovely outdoor settings, fun adventures, I laughed so hard I cried. Unfortunately the fun ended for me about 130 pages in, the level of miscommunication that began and continued until about the 90% mark was so fucking atrocious I almost put this book down several times. I decided to stick with it but I did skim 70% of the book because I wanted to know the story but wasn't invested enough to take it all in. 
I enjoyed Darcy and Teagan together but fucking hell, why did we spend the whole book trapped up in lies? IDK. Overall I wouldn't say this was a waste of time (I did have some fun) but I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
