I did not like this book as much as Read Between The Lines and graces character was very frustrating the whole book until the end. It was okay could have been better but still enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this book so much. The ending was cute but sad. I literally fell in love with Sam the second I found out she was the girl on the bike.  Y dream girl but I also want to be the girl on the bike cause why not. 

Im coming back a bit after i gave this review ^^. But i changed this rating to 5 cause i think about the love in this book everyday, i yearn for this love. This book is my expectations and just the perfect book for wlw.

The first 200 pages of tge book are SOOOO slow. I was questioning what tge hell was any of it leading to. No suspense and no thrill, i will say there was so weird gross shit but tgats it. There is rape so trigger ⚠️ but idk the book was okay.
