I’m a bit conflicted with this one- the best way to put it is that when it was good, it was really good, and when it was bad, it was pretty bad. 

All in all, it was a pretty standard romance, predictable but not in a bad way. There were some really cute moments and I liked how it didn’t take 500 pages for them to realize their feelings (aka not too much of a slow burn). 

The main issue was the writing felt juvenile and simplistic, especially in the beginning. The author also tried to make the characters multidimensional but it felt more like an afterthought that was stated rather than shown. There was also this weird thing where all of the « conflicts » were pretty much just the characters refusing to speak to each other. They weren’t ever really mad, just wouldn’t communicate to the other person because they wanted to wait? Several days? And not explain that they wanted to do that? It just seemed like trying to find conflict where there wasn’t anything. 


I hadn’t read the first book in the series, and I don’t think it’s necessary to.
