caitlin_d33's review against another edition

fast-paced

3.25

I felt like it moved pretty quickly and generally enjoyed the characters. It was really predictable (which I totally expected), and there were a few places that felt like the author really laid out the upcoming conflict instead of letting the reader decipher anything on their own. A few repeats of information that didn’t need restated. Plus some really antiquated thoughts on a teenage girl’s experience and stereotypes of men being obtuse. 

Lastly, Would have appreciated a little more warning about triggers for grief and PTSD from traumatic loss.

Very sweet with a well treated grief storyline and some solid spice thrown in. Surprised that I didn’t find Emmy annoying as I often find romance authors have a hard time writing realistic teenagers. I was a bit disappointed with how not super steamy it was after reading in the description that it was 2019 Goodreads spiciest book of the year or something. But still so good and liked the second chance romance.

Highly forgettable but good smut
I just don't understand how a book involving such heavy subjects (see the tw below) could have been marketed as the cutest smut. This book could  100% revive ptsd so be careful while you look for a quick romance lol
