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.

There was too much sex in the book for me.  There was also a lot of swearing that I had to skip over.  The story is cute and I’m invested in their story.  But, I don’t need that kind of story/drama in my life.

Other than the fact that this authors are complete zionists, I was absolutely adoring like the first 90% of this book. It’s a funny little romance, I was screaming and kicking my feet up into the air but the last 10% that resolved the whole “lost contact for 11 years was absolutely atrocious.
fi First of all the way it’s fucking written because you are introduced to this problem as this huge fucking breakthrough that absolutely wrecked the insane relationship and connection that two people had. I mean, they kinda built this situation in a way you would’ve imagined something so horrendous that the other person did that completely fucked up the relationship. Every year, and there we were given hints that both of these people made a mistakes in the past, and those mistakes led to the downfall of this amazing relationship and at the end of the day none of these two characters made a single Mistake. On Elliott’s side, he was basically raped and everything was described as he made a mistake for being fucking drunk. Excuse me drunk is not the reason or is not justification for you to get raped. And why the fuck are two grown ass women trading these violation as an honest teenager mistake, as it something that happens every time someone gets drunk at a party. That was the fucking dealbreaker for me like I lost it.  it was represented as a cheating situation. This was not fucking cheating and to be honest it really made me feel so fucking uncomfortable and I didn’t even wanted to keep reading, just because I had like 10 fucking pages left I finished the book. But otherwise I really think this issue broke it for me. I don’t know what the fuck.

This book is from two different timelines, when they first met until they broke up as teens and now. It's all from Macy's perspective which is a change up from the way they usually write. I find it hard to believe that he never heard anything about her dad, seems like that would be big news and they had cell phones. Otherwise it's fine, but I really want Ashley's story, there has to be more to the business trip cocaine habit story.

I had choosen this novel as my main read for a trip and it was, for the most part, the ideal vacation book. I liked the rythm and the characters. I had never read new romance before, and it was a pretty good introduction. However, the main character is absolutely annoying. It was okay at first but I wanted to rip my hair off when she blamed Elliot for his litteral r4p3 because she was jealous of his r4p1st. I was also very annoyed by the fact that no one in this goddamn book seems to acknowledge what happened to Elliot as r4p3. This part was very upsetting to read, unfortunately.
