I usually steer clear of college based romances because I stopped enjoying them when I was around college myself. It's hard to relate as an adult and the characters often seem very immature. There was, however, something about this book that just made me want to read it, it sounded quirky and a little different to the 'usual' college romance. I'm so glad I listened to that gut feeling because this was a wonderful story.

The characters were actually very mature and there was minimal drama and certainly none that didn't seem to make sense with the story. I adored the characters, including the secondary characters who were a wonderful addition to the story.

I could go on listing things I love about this book but then this would become very long so I'll just leave it here. Go read it, it's nothing like I expected and it's a super speedy read too. Love this one!

(Side note, the reason for the missing star is that I felt some things about the past of Reece weren't explained properly and I feel like there should have been a conversation between Reece and Seph as well as between the author and the reader regarding this. I don't like things left unexplained in a book!)

I was constantly switching from laughing and then being sad.

I loved this though there were a few things I had some issue over and I felt that the ending was kind of rushed.
