Overall I enjoyed it. I liked some of the quirks and appreciated their interactions. I enjoyed how Emily Henry knew how to give the reader what they wanted when it came to intimacy. Emotional and physical. There are select parts of the book that are somewhat dark, but I personally didn't mind that. I thought that him saying he'd always been into her, and that Kayla knew how into her he'd always been was cheesy. It was hot and fun that he'd been into her before the frat party, but it was also cheesy. Also, I know she's working through trusting again and stuff, but man it felt like every time Gus did anything she was like "OMG HE'S NEVER BEEN INTO ME" which was irritating. That said, I know that was probably the point.
