I have purchased numerous books by Christina Lauren over the years because the story descriptions always sounded so good. Having never gotten around to reading any of them, I thought it was time to discover if I actually liked Christina Lauren or not. This book ended up being a wonderful introduction to their work (to my immense relief)! The story was so much fun, filled with a lovable cast, lots of laughs, and strong relationship chemistry. I think the only thing that could have been better and a little more believable for me was when Reid was finally on the same page as the characters and reader. It felt like there was so much build up to that moment, and instead of him really connecting all the pieces that were laid out over the course of the story, he just sort of had this sudden understanding. It was kind of anticlimactic. Other than that, a quick and enjoyable read that I could not put down!
