Not going to lie the first half of this book was hard to get through. A lot of it was very cringe but I’m happy i stuck with it because it got better. Wayyy better! I know that their love story was unrealistic but this is fiction!! It’s not supposed to be realistic! I loved carson’s growth most of all. He became such an inspiring person and I loved him very much. This book doesn’t look very deep but once you get into the thick of it you realize it’s a lot deeper than you thought it was going to be! I would give five stars had it not been for such a rocky start.

I pride myself on being able to predict how books and movies are going to play out. Boy was I wrong time and time again while reading this one. Each page brought an unexpected layer to the story, making this book stand out for me. Grace is described as the girl with a plan while Carson is the more carefree character but one weekend changes all of that for them. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the judgment on his early career choice, I know this is common. Overall I liked how both Carson and Grace grew up separately over time before realizing they should be together. The weekend was a huge catalyst in both of their lives. Sometimes it really is the right person, wrong time. The way Mia used this book to also shed light on a huge issue like human trafficking is admirable. I really hope there are some Carson's out there in this world trying to fight that battle just as passionately as he is alongside his team.
3/5 Spice Level
TWs are mild to moderate.
While I received an ARC of this book, my thoughts are all my own.
