Not my all-time favorite romance trope (the lying trope, which is not the worst, though. We reserve that for insta-love), but this was still a fun, breezy read! Which I needed after my last couple of reads. You know from the beginning that Noah's web of small lies were eventually going to blow up in his face, especially as he gets more and more serious with Eli. But he's a teenager! Everything about the story fit for the audience it was written for.

I did appreciate that the ending was left fairly open, because I'm always skeptical of happily ever after endings for teens. These open ended books just feel more realistic to me. While I wanted a little more character development throughout, it was an overall enjoyable book!
