- How loyal and selfless he was
- The friend group
- Brady{ He's AWESOME}

Dislikes:
- The length of the book
- The unnecessary drama
- Some parts were predictable
- Slow first half
- Chase {update to come... I'm on the fence about how I feel about him}

Updated Review + Rating: 1/10/2023

I had forgotten how long this book had been!
After rereading/listening to this, I realized why I didn't rate it the first time.

I still have the same feelings about my earlier opinions, but I think I'm the only one that wants Chase to get his H.E.A.  I understand the situation, I mean, the guy was only afraid of losing his oldest friend, BUT HEY! I get why people dislike him; they are teenagers, so they're immature in certain areas (nothing against that age group), but it was apparent as day from Mason's mindset/actions regarding Chase dating Ari. The bit that still confuses me is how Mason was suddenly all for them dating after the accident/memory loss.

To end on a good note, I did appreciate the book and Ari and Noah's connection. Also, I believe a Brady book would be fantastic. I'm sure he has some skeletons in his closet.

Chase book trope ideas:
- Slow burn
- Guy falls first
I mean he deserves this for the pain Ari went through.

Rating:3.5
Ps: I might get kicked out of the BC for this🤣🤣
