idk why these books arent hitting for me bu there is just something average about it for me. Apparently the next book is supposed to be amazing so im holding out hope. I love Warner so much and I love that we get to see way more of him in this book. His sweetside for Juliette, the fact that he memorized her journal??! Also I love Kenji so much, his personality is everything to me. And lil ol James when he found out he has healing powers, cutie pie. Can we talk about Warner's power? He takes on peoples energies? Her touch makes him filled with energy inside?! Give me more Warner now pls.
Edit: idk what I was on I feel nothing towards Warner or anything about this book whatsoever-(4/25)

I wasn't attached to anything about this book. It feels like they were enemies for no reason like he didn't smile back and that was that. When they were enemies, it did not last long at all, that elevator kiss scene came way too fast. I wasn't super invested in any of the characters or the romance it felt like it moved at a super weird pace for me. I was more invested about who would get the promotion over anything else, but the parts about Josh's back story were okay too. I didn't swoon, so I can't rate it higher than a three. It was the definition of meh.
I thought this was supposed to be a trilogy?? So why did it end on a cliffhanger where the problem isn’t resolved and she hasn’t chosen who she wants? Idk if the author decided to add more books or something but I’m let down a lot. The plot wasn’t plotting at all. I never got invested in anything not even the characters. I feel like this love triangle is so drawn out at this point like it’s obvious who she’s gonna end up with. Whenever she says “oh but I love them both equally” like no u don’t girl let’s be real.
This is the ultimate second-chance romance. We got a whole book on Wes and Liz before where it was a childhood, enemies-to-lovers situation, and that was amazing. Now it feels like we are starting fresh, but with characters and a backstory we already know. This book made me love Wes even more and realize that I wouldn't hate sports romances as much as I thought. I wasn't expecting this to have such a heavy sports element, especially baseball, which I hate, but reading about it I didn't mind at all, in fact I liked it. I got invested in Liz and Wes' story all over again, except this time in a college setting which is different than most rom-coms I read. There is something about Lynn Painter's writing that is just so captivating to me, there is just an unexplainable feeling while reading her books. I flew threw this entire book in almost one day, it was so good. I loved seeing Wes pine after Liz, and the dual POV in Painter's books is something else I love. I love a good romance where we get to see both sides and both POVS from a situation. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and it makes me want to go back and read better than the movies again. Also, the Gracie Abrams and Gilmore Girl references make it that much better.
I feel like a lot happened, but also nothing? It was definitely fast-paced, and I can't wait to see more of Warner later on. I thought all the strike-throughs were clever to show her state of mind and how they slowly disappeared over time.
Eli and Georgia were so cute I loved the second chance romance and the whole wedding planning plot. Also the list of the reasons why Eli loved her that were hidden in the paper rings broke me.
medium-paced
The beginning was very slow when it was just Isla and Oro and her learning more about the world. It started to pick up for me when the before parts were happening, what can I say I'm team Grim I actually can't stand Oro. This is the first book ive listened to on audio in a long time. I'm more attached, but still not very attached to the characters so thats why the rating is not as high.
It was rly slow for me till the end and didn’t really fall in love with any of the characters
