Loved the main characters. Adored the feelings stirred up. Her friend from college is awesome. His boisterous family is so great. Her dad is so so wonderful. The now and then time jumps over the entirety of the book drive the story. My only regret was

not being able to see a longer peek at their happy life together. After sooooo many chapters of angst, it just ended too fast.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The character development, the plot, etc. It's a romance so of course we know how it's going to end, but even so, I was fighting for them to end up together and find out what was keeping them apart.

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

Overhyped. Go read The Soulmate Equation instead.
