I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book to read and I am so glad I did. Many thanks to the author.

At first I was worried that this would be too like other books of the same genre, but I needn't have worried. This is a refreshing take on the genre and it doesn't seem to be too like other books. I read this book over a night and the next morning, I couldn't put it down.

The idea behind the story is simple enough - boy likes girl, girl likes boy, boy denies it and they remain as just friends. Boy keeps secrets from girl, she moves on, he doesn't like it. But this simple idea is taken to a whole different level when you start reading the story.

The twists throughout the book will have you wondering if the characters you want to end up together actually will, as bad decisions seem to be made constantly by them all.

The ending is done really well, and left me wondering what could come next. I look forward to reading book two, Consequences.
