It's crazy to think that everything going on in the story only happens in a span of days. The author does a great job of pacing everything so we'll though that the romantic relationship between Kaitlyn and Martin is believable and intimate. I like that she explores both characters as what they are, flawed people. Kaitlyn has problems confronting her feelings and speaking her mind about what she wants and is afraid of emotional intimacy. Martin has a privileged life but has a despicable family which makes him resentful and bitter at times. He can also be a bit of asshole sometimes because he has so many trust issues with the people around him.

My favorite parts of the book are the intimate conversations Kaitlyn and Martin have where we get insight into why they have the personality traits they do. It's also nice to see a male love interest have more emotional insight and be more open about his feelings than his female counterpart. It's not a dynamic that is necessarily super common. I also like that any issues the couple has with communication are addressed and nipped in the bud. They display am incredibly healthy relationship dynamic. I'm looking forward to the third installment of this series. Best romance I've read this year so far with characters that are very three dimensional and flawed and that I've grown to just love. Definitely recommend!



**MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD**



I think their breakup was handled very well. Kaitlyn and Martin obviously have very intense feelings for one another, but I'm hoping the breakup will give them the time they need to mature into better people. The breakup was more circumstantial than anything else, but I think it brought out the issues they still need to work on. Martin needs to determine if holding onto the bitterness he has towards his father is worth his happiness. Kaitlyn needs to continue her journey of growing into her own person and pursuing what she wants from life rather than becoming what everyone expects her to be. We shall see what happens.
