Strictly Not Yours by Carrie Elks

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted sad tense fast-paced

3.25

"I get the feeling that she’s been let down a lot in life, and I don’t want to be another person on that list. This is why I should stay away from her. And why I clearly won’t."

I really enjoyed seeing Blair & Holden together but I knew since the beginning that the secret she was hiding was going to blow up in her face and that's exactly what happened. But what I did not see coming was the way Holden reacted. It was very harsh and I wanted to see him grovel but Blair laid him off very easy which was disappointing. Overall, this was a mildly angsty but lighthearted read. I liked all the scenes with the brothers and Blair's sister and nephew. But I would've really liked it if the third act breakup did not happen the way it did. So my rating for the book would be 3.25 stars.
