This book gets a lot of praise, as does the rest of the series. At least that’s what I’ve seen. I greatly enjoyed this story, but there were a few issues I had. I really wish this story would have been a dual POV. I don’t think the single POV served any purpose while I think dual POV could have added so much to this story. That’s just my preference and opinion though.

I love the friendship/relationship Stella and Luka share. They are true ride-or-die friends. Yet it drove me nuts that Stella was so obtuse when it came to Luka’s reciprocal feelings. I think she did a much better job of hiding her true feelings from him than he did from her, yet she was clueless. The man basically spells it out for her and still…crickets. It was frustrating as the reader to feel it was just being used to lengthen the story. But I did love these two together, especially when they were letting the walls down and acting on their true feelings.

There was still a lot about this book that I liked. I’m curious about all of the side characters and want to see where things are going for them, so I’ll be reading at least one more to see how this author’s writing progresses. I believe this was her debut so there is a bit of grace there. I did care about the characters and the story, I just felt certain things were drawn out too long more for the page count than the actual story.
