Well, this was cute!
Geoff and Asher were absolutely wonderful protagonists: sweet as hell, respectful and lovable, and I loved seeing their relationship progress and flourish, despite all the trauma and baggage they both have.
I loved the first half of the book a lot more than the second, because I kinda got bored after a bit and started skimming. I'm afraid this wasn't the book's fault: the dreaded reading slump has finally caught up with me *stomps feet* ugh, they're the worst.
Anyway, I really liked this book: L.A. Witt is a fantastic writer, as usual, and I love how she manages to masterfully blend angst and sweetness in every single one of her books.
I also loved that, although there's a significant age-gap between both protagonists, nobody made a big deal of it, least of all Geoff and Asher.
I wished we had gotten more of Asher's team though, and although it's much more realistic this way, my masochistic heart kept hoping for a stronger resolution of the Nathan situation.
All in all, this was a really enjoyable read.
