I loved this book, was perfect way to get lost in another world. Lots of world building with a good balance of story. 
I read the last 2 thirds of the book in one day, I was reading as I did everything - could hardly put it down. 
I am looking forward to book 2!

I can see why this a book was so hyped! I liked the length of it, too many romance and like little snapshots into characters lives but Mile High is a more realistic look into a persons life. I found it to be a little cheesy in parts but isn’t that what makes romance so cutesy?
