I really enjoyed reading this story, it was such a wholesome read for a Bully romance that I was not expecting going into the story. S.J. Sylvis does something wonderful with her characters where even when they are acting in a way that you don't particularly like they are still likeable within the story. Case in point, one of the female bullies of the story ends up having her own book in the 3rd one of this series which I cannot wait to read and when she appeared within the story even though I disliked her I really wanted to learn more about her.
Now onto Piper and Ollie the two that are going to take central stage in book 2, I adored those characters. Piper was the best friend that I think everyone wished they had and Ollie brought so much joy and laughter during the scenes he appeared in.
But the main stars of this book are our two main lead characters, Hailey and Christian who I adored so much and their relationship was really well written. I loved how Christian owed up to his mistakes and how Hailey learned to trust and lean on people when she needed too. The character development was really well done!
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this story my only issue with it was that in places I felt the pacing was just a bit off as it got a bit slow in places, but that's it really I loved the story overall and can't wait to read the rest of the series!
