2.0

The side characters carried this story and everything else was just cringe.

I am not a fan of the cheating trope in this book. Both main characters were really unrelatable and just kept making bad choices and then wondering why they were in bad situations. I was also incredibly frustrated with the fact that Sydney never bothered to learn sign language until the very end of the book. The use of phones and computers to communicate was really frustrating. Maggie and Warren deserved better!

Sydeny did not attempt to communicate with Ridge in the best way, asking prying questions about his disability, and made Ridge accommodate to her rather than changing the way she communicated.

I would recommend this book. This book drew me in from the first page. I loved getting to read from two different t perspectives. However, I did find myself getting frustrated during different parts of the novel, but I guess that what makes for a good book! I also feel like the language used could’ve been less formal during the conversations the characters have, for a 22 and 24 year old, proper grammar doesn’t feel fully realistic. Overall a decent read to get you out of a slump!

really not sure how to feel?? first of all i hated how cheating was like the main focus of this book and how it got romanticised and justified. like what? had no idea this was the trope going in. i liked the characters besides that and there were a lot of emotional moments. tbf id have been fine with ridge ending up with either of the girls. 
what i cant look past is the homophobic undertone of sydney saying one of her major flaws was how she kissed a girl when she was youngee, the use of a transphobic word not once but twice and the use of ableist language throughout a book which clearly tried to represent the deaf community which is majorly hypocritical. im really disappointed by this and ultimately this book really didnt age very well.
