It was a fun idea to centre the text vertically, I had never read that in a book before.
I wanted to read some romance, but I’m unsure about this story. Miles gave me some red flags and the chemistry between him and Tate felt weird at times. Also, I didn’t understand why this whole “stepsister” thing needed to happen.
But I liked the writing style and the kind of storytelling that was happening with the chapters and different povs. 
Cap as a character was also really funny.
 
I also thought the end was a bit unrealistic. He had trauma for six years, which he never took care off. And at the end, he suddenly proposes after six months of dating. Yes, stuff like that can happen, but in this case, it felt a bit rushed.
 
Despite all those things, it was still an enjoyable read and my first read of a Colleen Hoover book.
