I wish this book was longer! I really enjoyed the plot and the characters, but I felt like it needed just a little bit more towards the end. I did really love both Shay and Ollie, and I thought their chemistry was very real and authentic feeling. Ollie's character growth was really satisfying to watch, and seeing what a softy Shay was when I was expecting him to be more of a grump was really a nice twist. Neither of them allowed the other to give them shit, and they both had a surprising amount of emotional awareness, which was also a surprising yet delightful time.
