Loved the main characters and even the side characters they all went great with the book. The ending might have been rushed a bit but it was still a great read with a HEA.

Great book on some real mental health issues and ways to work through them logically or even with a partner. Loved the characters and the diary’s entries so good and loved the idea for posting an online diary.

Great characters I love that they have the same type of adrenaline rush of things. The FMC is great I love that she is made strong and seemingly can handle anything to get in her way. Great story line. My only criticism is the ending being a bit rushed for my liking and could have made into a few epilogue chapters or even a whole other book on the characters, a bit of a missed opportunity in my opinion.

I really enjoyed the whole book, the only thing I have issue with is the quick and short ending. Yes there may be bits and pieces in the extended epilogue but I don’t want to have to find it. I loved the set up for book two and can’t wait to read it though!!
