My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️.75
General Thoughts: I adore Jennifer L. Armentrout. I also love many of the books she has written under the name J. Lynn. She's written some of my favorite books in a variety of genres. I read this book years ago, but since she's re-releasing the books, I decided to reread them. This time, I listened on audio. I didn't love the female narrator. I thought she made me like Sydney less than I did when I read it originally. But I liked the male narrator quite a bit.
I can tell this is early Jennifer L. Armentrout. She's always been a good writer, and that shows here. However, I feel like she improved with her later books in this genre and other genres. This book had a bit too strong of "not like other girls" vibes for me now that I'm a bit older. I also felt like Sydney for having been friends with Kyler should have thought more highly of him and given him more of a benefit of the doubt.
Miscommunication is such a realistic trope, but I thought it dragged a bit long. I still enjoyed it. Jennifer L Armentrout always creates characters with strong voices and personalities. It was fun visiting this one again. Not my favorite, but still a really fun solid read.
Spice Meter: ❤️🔥 Spicy, not the most detailed or frequent, but definitely there.
Romantic Tropes:
-dual POV
-friends to lovers
-close/forced proximity
-miscommunication
-college romance
-alphahole
