I really enjoyed this storyline as a whole and I adored Noah and Ari. Their relationship is beautifully built and made me feel good. I really liked most of the main, main characters. But there were SO many side people that I honestly had a hard time keeping up with them. I also want to mention how not prepared I was for the whiplash of this book. There is so much going on that it made me like it a little less. If book 2 is about twin brother Mason, I'm here for it and think I already know how it's going to go, but nonetheless am looking forward to more of the group.

I wanted to read this book because I have seen it all over booktok and the book community. The last time it was in The Works, this was part of the 3 for £6 deal and I jumped at the chance.  

This book is a college romance based on Arianna Johnson and for years, she has dreamt of what college life could bring and while some things changed, there was always one constant. It didn’t matter how wild she allowed her imagination to run, it always led her to the same place in the end. It led her to Noah Riley. Her future was clear, and he was it. Until suddenly . . . he wasn’t. Now she is a shell of who she was, on a path too blurry to follow, and she sees no way out. No way up. They say that first loves last forever. That's exactly what she’s afraid of.  

I enjoyed the college romance aspect and how the girls were trying to live their lives and the found family and their actual families. I loved the friendship group (besides Chase, he is a complete asshole and can go and fuck himself) and how they were all so protective, but they all love each other and would fight for each other. I love that each of these boys have their own personality and I hope that each of them (again besides Chase) gets their own story and Cam and Trey get their own story. I love Cam and Brady and I hope we see more of them. I really do love how they are so fun and flirty but would also kick ass if needed.  

Arianna took a bit of time to warm up to me, mainly because of the innocent girl, I can’t make decision bullshit. I also deeply, and I mean deeply, HATEEEEE love triangles. They are the worst thing in the world and sometimes ruin a story more than miscommunication and this book had love triangles and miscommunication due to her memory loss. I also didn’t really love the memory loss and was seriously thinking that Arianna was going to end up with Chase, who didn’t get the kick in the balls that he deserved.  

This book didn’t need to be so long, it could have been cut maybe like 100 pages, but I loved Noah and Arianna together and hopefully they will appear in the second book.

This book was soooo sweet, cute, funny, emotional and I loved it soooo much!!! Like it has everything you are looking for in a romance book, I mean there are some characters you might don’t like buttt the main couple is just it. They show how a real, honest and healthy relationship is supposed to be. All in all I love this book and I can definitely say it’s one of my favourites, especially the main characters Noah (who is basically a perfect boyfriend and person) and Ari (who is just amazing and so relatable) and also Cam (who is the perfect bestie and such a girls girl), I mean the other characters are also amazing but these three were my favourites!!

This book was so long, but the length was necessary. I was determined to finish it because it was a bit slow to get into at the beginning, but once it picked up and the plot started, the book was great!! Forget Chase because Noah Riley is the perfect book boyfriend. Patient and kind, handsome and sexy. Definitely 5 stars !!!

This book is going directly into the favorites and for future re-reads.

I went into this expecting to find it a cute little read and it ended up being so much better than I anticipated!  Some of these characters I’ll think about for years to come.
