*Le Sigh* this book is simply amazing, The characters were so well thought out and deep, it wasn't an insta-fall in love, and I love that. Tijan has yet to write a book I do not like, but I seriously LOVE this book. I will recommend it to anyone that will listen. Hell I am pretty sure I am in love with Caden Banks...Dear lord. Summer was not annoying as some heroines can be, she was well thought out, very quirky, and I found her hilarious. I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. I am so so so happy I bought this book.

Found my new addiction
Tijan writes simple, but completely well developed books. I am in love with her style. I finished this book in less than a day. Such a joy to read. It kept me engaged.

What i love about tojan‘s books: some kind of mental health representation.
With books like that you get the awareness, you can learn about it.
Maybe it was me but i didn‘t vibe so much with the characters. Sometimes there were mentionings about side characters‘ behavior i didn‘t get. In the end it wasn‘t resolved. I was confused at some points throughout the book.
This book is from 2016. i read around 3/4th of tijan‘s book and i love how you can see and feel her growth as an author!

Jump on board and enjoy this wild and crazy ride through the ups and downs of college romance, and finding love in the unlikeliest places. It has all the angst that so many young adults have these days. The crazy drunken parties that you associate with college life. Friends backstabbing friends. People keeping secrets. Love triangles. Plenty of bad boys to love or hate. Lots of interesting characters to enjoy. And even a few healing moments shared. This book is an excellent read in the YA (romance) genre. Some mild language. The sex scenes are limited and pretty tame (not too graphic,) and suitable for older teens and up. It reads quickly and easily.

This book was most definitely interesting.
I enjoyed the authors writing and her characters, except Kevin, him I disliked from the start and wish I can gut him like a pig.
The story was an interesting one, true to it's blurb, with deeper messages within.
However I feel it lacking and that's why it's not a full five star. I can't tell exactly where it was lacking it just didn't make me feel complete. The story is lovely has humor and some sexiness.

This was my first book by Tijan and I am so glad that I read it! I loved this concept of the girl in love with her stepbrother but ends up falling for his fraternity brother. Summer was a good little mixture of someone strong but often lacking self confidence. She stood up for herself though and that made her really exciting. Caden was quiet and intimidating but he was also the softie that helps someone in need. He started to develop a friendship with Summer and I just adored their journey to become lovers. And when they got together, they were just pure fire. Once they got together it was like Kevin who?

This book was very okay. I’ve read three books by this author now and they are always rated very high and in my recommended based on books I love. The other books have been okay but this is by far the worst. I just found the story hard to follow and none of the friendship or couples realistic. Most interactions were “you’re weird” and now we are friends. The character Avery is continuously described as a good friend, which I guess she is because she immediately decided the main character was her good friend at first sight? I feel like the love interests rarely spoke and then he was in love with her. I normally like when characters decided to separate to deal with their baggage, but they just broke up for a month and she lost some weight and then they got back together. I don’t think she really worked through anything. Colton was my favourite character and his commentary was the only thing I looked foreword too. Also nothing dug to deep, what’s up with summers parents marriage, what’s up with maggie, what’s going on with Claudia? I guess maybe I just didn’t get this book.

This book was so lame! I was expecting so much of it.
I skipped half the book it was so slow and the characters were so immature! And it was so predictable I just didn’t like it! I can’t even rate it!
