This book was pretty good for the short read that it was. 

I think this book could really have benefited from being a dual POV and seeing into Jack’s side a little more. The romance sort of just came from nowhere and I didn’t necessarily feel like there was enough of a reasoning for her to like him at the point she did because she didn’t really even know much about him. 

However, once they were together, the story was so cute. I loved that he was just so supportive and tried to help her see that she wasn’t the asshole she was made to believe. Unlike a majority of contemporary romance style books, there wasn’t a 3rd act breakup fueled by miscommunication or things. There was of course a little drama, but I truly loved that the author didn’t allow them to be broken up. They loved each other and we’re taking a little space to make sure they were both ready to come back together. Truly a great way to show a healthy response to a lovers quarrel. 

Also loving the found family that the two mains have. Seeing that they both have had trauma surrounding their parents and no siblings, her group of friends was a very diverse and I loved the love story within a love story.
