The premise sounded interesting but I wasn't bowled over in the first half of the book, especially when there was a quick development from a one-night stand to "thinking about him everyday."
The book introduced too many unnecessary details and so many side characters who don't really contribute to the story.
There was a lot of jealousy going on supposedly for somebody who was a mere hookup, and there were too many potential love interests thrown in the mix, and every other guy is either hot or handsome or attractive.
Another problem I had with the book is that I wasn't entirely convinced that Teo would get over Chris so easily after years of pining (although he should have done so earlier).
Not sure how I felt about Chris' characterization as it seemed so obvious that he was being painted as a "bad guy" so Teo NOT choosing him is the only logical progression of the story.
The book is a light, fluffy read with full of clichés and I would have probably wanted a followup only to read Ty and Rourke's story.
