Uhhhh….okay. Um, it was fine. The first part when they are younger is incredibly endearing and I really enjoyed it. How much can you say to someone in between the sentences? I was kinda put off by them in the present time, everything happened (and didn’t happen) way too fast. Elliot always seemed pushy, even if he wasn’t trying to be and Macy felt like she would just go along with whatever Elliot wanted… eventually. I didn’t care for the twist, the kind of ‘drama’ it added did not have time to breathe at all. The last few chapters in present day seemed thrown together. But I did read the majority of it (like 85% of it) in a day, I was entertained and it wasn’t too painful. 

Just check the content warnings.

Her dad dies in a car accident, and a girl sexually assualts him while he is drunk at a party and he does not consent to the girl, but he thinks it’s the FMC… and then they don’t really talk about it. Also the FMC’s fiance's ex has substance abuse problem and they are kinda shamey to her throughout the book

This book is sweet and salty. I love  the way they explore first love that consumes you and becomes your definition of love. It beautifully takes you through the battles of opposite sex bestfriend and growing up. 
I like that the chapters flip between past and present, it keeps you flying through chapters to find out what happened “eleven years ago” that they reference the whole book. 
I liked the characters a lot and loved the way these authors allowed to them to slowly slip into love, not only romantically, but as each-other’s everything.

It was an intriguing read. I mostly enjoyed it. What I didn’t enjoy was killing off the dad and Elliot being raped by a girl at a party never being called out as sexual assault. It was only ever addressed as cheating even after he clearly explained this girl had taken advantage of him when he was drunk. That felt so gross to me. If the situation had just been clearly addressed as what it was then I would have rated this book a 4.5. Just as much care should have been given to Elliot as was given to Macy and would have been if the situations were reversed.
