5.0
While, objectively, this book may not be the best candidate for five stars, it's getting them from me. I thought the characters were lovable, their flaws relatable, and the challenges they faced to be realistic. While I do wish there had been a few more scenes featuring just Jess and River getting to know each other/falling in love, the scenes we got really stole the show and sold their romance. Overall, it's a well-rounded story that hit harder for me because I happened to read it at just the right time, staying up until 2 in the morning because I just couldn't put it down.
