Mixed feelings on this one. By the end I really liked the relationship dynamic between the two MCs, and how that developed, but I DID NOT like the characters in the first 1/3 of the book. Particularly Callum. He was super inconsistent and the character we met at the beginning was essentially a different character from the one we see later on. 

To be fair - I listened to this on Audio, and I think that the actor chosen to play Callum really hurt this book. His read was stiff, almost robotic, and it repeatedly took me out of the story and was super distracting.  

I have heard good things about Sophie Lark, so I'm going to try giving the next book in the series a try (I have already confirmed that it is different voice-actors if I go the audio route) or I may take a look at another book/series of hers all-together.
