i think it was a cute read. i liked ruby's story and development more than morgans. the writing felt a bit rushed at the end and i couldn't keep track of the timeline. ruby's friends didn't really seem to have much of a purpose in my opinion, and i wish they were included more and i knew more about them. it felt more like everly and marcus were the "token black friends." i'm not a fan of the miscommunication/not listening in this book either, but i get it's for conflict. morgan bothered me quite a bit at some points and was incredibly frustrating. maybe that's just her thing but as a reader it was hard to digest. i just wanted her to listen to ruby one time and by the end i wasn't over the moon about the solution. overall, not too awful but it was just lacking in so many areas. however i want to try reading dugan's other works in the future because i really like her writing style. this one is just not my favorite.
