Thank you to the author & Literary Inspired for sending me an ARC in exchange for my review of this book.

With new books, I never know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the writing style was to read and how quickly I was pulled into this story.

Unfortunately, it started to unravel about a third into the book, which is why I gave it 3 stars. My main reason for this would be that there just wasn't enough of this book.

Just about every aspect that confused me or bothered me could've been fixed by making this a longer book instead of a novella. 

Throughout this read, I kept going back to previous chapters seeing if I missed something because this book needed more scenes instead of just referring to things that supposedly happened. Having extra scenes would've firstly had me not getting confused or feeling like something was missing, but it would've also added so much to the main characters' relationship and growth. 

Overall I really loved Kelci and found her very relatable and M.E. Giggle did a great job in making her a lovable character.
