I loved the first-half of the book, but the second-half was questionable at best. The relationship just developed way too quickly for my liking, and the whole misunderstanding felt incredibly off character and avoidable. I also found several characters to be a bit petty… but I’ll probably read the second since I really liked Hannah. (Also just a side note, but I’m beginning to wonder if pet names just aren’t for me because I wanted to cringe every time ‘baby’ was used)
