How did this have such a high goodreads rating? the characters are emotionally stunted and behave like kids, stomping off angrily or breathlessly following the other. The plot is cringe-worthy, written in a way that seems to be made for a really bad rom-com movie. I didn't like anyone. At least the main character wasn't a journalist.

I picked this up wanting a light, feel-good book. The story itself was nice enough, although both Bella and Isaac’s actions at the start were questionable. I straightaway didn’t gel with the writing style: to me, sentences like “God he was so hot” and “You look nice Bella”, even just “Hi Bella” (for example) need commas.

The main characters repeatedly expressed that their relationship wasn’t just about sex, and I don’t think it was, but it seemed to be all they did or talked about.
