It was pretty predictable at times, the amount of times it was mentioned Adam was tall, and had broad shoulders and he towered over Olive (33) was overkill tbh, and at some parts I was genuinely thinking "what the fuck" because the things happening or the way Ms Hazelwood described things was very weird, but it kept me hooked and I had a good time regardless.

I must confess that I was reticent about this book. Not because it used to be star wars fanfiction (I only discover that after buying the book) but because it is a popular book. Popular books are 50/50 to me, and I'm always reticent about starting one. But I really liked it.
As far as romances go, this isn't the best romance that I ever read. But it's damn entertaining and I was engaged all the time. And that makes all the difference to me. It's a little cliché at some points but there are some plot points that caught me by surprise. The characters are interesting and funny, which was also a good point for me!
So, I really liked this book, and I do recommend it if you want something light and entertaining. Its a really good beach read.

There wasn’t much depth of character and I felt like we could have got to know the depths of Adam and Olive so much more, they both had interesting and emotional childhoods.
I enjoyed this read but wouldn’t say it was anything amazing!
