Okay, I did enjoy this more than Cal and Scottie's story - Rowan and Vi are great, loved their communication between each other as well, the flashbacks were a joy to read and the book really felt like these two had known each other for 10 years, they're so layered in their characters so it was lovely to read about their romance and their second chance. 
HOWEVER. The jealous ex trope is prevalent throughout, in both flashback with Kyleigh, and present day with Troy. It SUCKS to read about aaaaaaaand it annoys me greatly when this trope is used so if it annoys anyone else, not this book. 
Now onto book 3! Xander and Teddy's story, which I have high hopes for with how they've been in the background the past two books.
