I'm so sorry this book was just...not great 😭 in what world does this have a 4.3 rating?! Who allowed that? First of all, why was it marketed as a college romance when 200 pages are them in high school? There's a reason I don't read HS romances and it's because they're all immature teenagers who make dumb decisions. Bingo!

200 pages of this book felt like a prologue and then there was 350 MORE pages.. dear god why was this book so long too. Ari was fine, except I felt like I was rereading the same scenes with the same emotions and scenarios over and over again.. and why does every review talk about Noah Riley like he's gods gift to romance? The man had the personality of a saltine cracker.

This was kinda painful for me and ultimately was just not my favorite, but hey, if you enjoyed it, good for you!
