It was hard to put this one down! The pacing is quick and the banter between all characters was very good and often funny. The chemistry between Janelle and Rome was on fire. Rome is the ideal man and sometimes he came off as a little too perfect, because it is hard to believe that a man as good as that exists. I thought the tension between Janelle and her sister was overall good and kept the story exciting but the ending re: their relationship felt rushed and messy. The whole plot point about Janelle’s relationship with her mom felt forced and a little out of left field. I think that needed more development.
