Scottie and Finn’s story begins with off the charts chemistry. She’s the virginal cheerleader; he’s the brooding bad boy. From the very first page you can tell their romance is gonna be electric. Their development and character arc grows stronger every time they face setback after setback.
While the virgin trope isn’t usually my go-to, this one lands better than most. Scottie doesn’t feel like a stereotypical “pure” heroine clutching her V-card like it’s a shield. Instead, she’s resilient and grounded—someone whose vulnerabilities build her character, not define her.
Finn isn’t just “the silent, broody hero” in the rough; he's like an onion and has many layers revealing a fierce protector with a heart of gold. His growth was addictive to read about.
Their bond is relentlessly tested. Still, as a reader, you may find yourself wishing the drama dialed itself back a notch or three. At times, it feels like something new is introduced just to prolong the emotional ride. Could have had a few pages less. The length occasionally drags, and certain plot twists felt like overkill.
Watching Scottie and Finn come out stronger on the other side of turmoil is heartwarming. They’re not perfect, but they fight for each other—again and again. Scottie and Finn’s love story is emotional and raw—and while the pacing and propensity for drama can feel heavy at times, their journey toward growth and mutual support keeps you rooting for them.
