It was really cute and had such a good showing on how to have a healthy relationship! Not just romantically either. I liked all the characters developments…the ones that had any anyway lol. But it was so nice to have a story along with the sexy parts, and a good story at that.

Spoiler for towards end of book!!!
<Personally, I’m really conflicted on the whole frozen lake scene. I’m glad it got her to admit first, which is something I was hoping for, but also…why?? It felt so rushed and passed on compared to other parts of the book. >

The storyline was interesting and easy to follow. It just seems like the story was lost sometimes being covered up by very smutty parts. Overall, a good book, just wish the story got to shine more instead of the smutty parts.

This novel is quite loght hearted and has a lovable cast of characters, although there are quite many spicy scenes it does not define the book as some people might say, and even though it is a big part of it there is a story about people growing and becoming better versions of themselfes along side those parts of it.

I was curious to see what all the fuss was about with this book. Though it wasn’t the worst book I’ve read, it certainly was not my favorite. I completely loathed Aaron as a character. He was obnoxious and useless. I think drama could have been added to the “plot” without him being in it. The main couple I was fine enough with, but I just felt like most of it could’ve used more development.
