I felt this book would be better as a friend's book and not a romance. I didn't feel the connection between El and Ray. I have a hard time with books where the main character has a crush and is just dragged through the mud for this crush. It feels too much like real life, and I read to escape. The crush turned into a lover has to be done well for me to like it. 

 

I loved the idea of all of them buying a house and living together. It is what our world has come to know of days. That part of the story was fun to read.

One part got on my nerves when El had a panic attack, and Ray made it worse.

There were better ways to handle that situation. 

 

Overall it was an okay book. The friendship was enjoyable to read about.
