This book had the makings of a beautiful Abby Jimenez book but there were a few things I just really couldn't get past while reading this one. First of all - Kristen was extremely annoying to me about halfway through the book. There's one thing about being stubborn and another just being an absolutely insufferable person - she was the latter. The back and forth between her and Josh was giving me whiplash and I felt the book could have been shorter if we just cut some of that out. 

Also I didn't really like how they used the big twist at the end to move the plot along and a device to get Josh and Kristen back together. It really felt like Sloan got the shit end of the stick & it was unnecessary. I was hoping Josh and Kristen would have a more non-traditional ending and was slightly disappointed to find out they didn't. Everything wrapped up a little too nicely in the last 30 pages despite an absolute mess of a situation that was happening beforehand. 

Looking forward to reading Book No. 2 but glad the author has grown from this one.

I liked this a lot! Kristen and Josh were very well written- their interactions and thoughts seemed realistic and relatable. I enjoyed their camaraderie. The subject was serious but relatable. I enjoyed this!

Ugh rip my heart out! I was thoroughly annoyed by Kristen, but I loved this couple so much. The friendships, the romance. This was a full journey and if it's not a movie it would be one. 6 stars!
