Water Under The Bridge by Denise Stone, Kels Stone

It was cute, I liked Avery and Luca. They're competitions in the beginning were a lot of fun and their weekend was adorable, but I found a lot of the end didn't match their personalities/morals (I think the last couple chapters and epilogue could've been cut).
-----------------------------Spoilers --------------------------
I loved the focus on non-profits and diving into that work environment, I was also very interested in the projects discussed or mentioned. However, two people that have now dedicated their lives to the environment... then go and buy a MASSIVE summer house they have to commute to? Like that house would have to be insane to be "out of budget" for two people making CEO salaries (we will get back to that). Plus, what was the beginning about how Luca never traveled and Avery loves to travel and maybe they could travel together etcetera - people that want to spend their free time traveling don't buy a beach mansion when they are environmentally conscious. I just don't see that house/ending meshing with their beliefs. Back to the salary, um why?? I appreciate the idea of ending the pay gap and being equal, but that's in the context of an equal position that Avery and Luca are not in (CEO is not the same workload as a head of a department). I would be pissed if I was one of the other department heads and I am making a fraction of that - doesn't look good.
Overall, I liked the story but I found some things very out of character or not realistic for who they are.
