Soooo this one is complicated... The first half was a decent 4 star reading with some problematic and stereotypical scenes but nothing really bad. Then the second half came and it was just hot garbage. It seemed like the love interest and the MC were talking two different languages because they never understood the other ones problem. The "spicy" scenes made me cringe so bad and the only thing that kept me reading was the wattpad like writing. I wanted to like it so bad but I couldn't overlook some of the problems the book has. Overall the plot was fine and could have developed great but the execution was horrible. The addictive writing, some funny jokes, Easton (personal favourite) and the first half definitely push the rating for me but it just doesn't deserve the 3 stars. If you are in a reading slump and still have interest, go for it. 
Now to the ending (spoiler free): The ending was so unneccesary. Without giving it away, they can technically start from scratch in the next book. And without any lessons to take away I ask myself: Why did they write this book? (Probably so i could write this passionately written review ;))
