It took me OVER A YEAR to read it, but I did it!!! I got like 80% there for book club last year and then lost momentum after discussing the book (and ending) in depth.  But now I was motivated to force through so I can get to Play Along (I just have to read Caught Up first).

This really is a book about two PERFECT characters.

Indy is perfectly relatable and I'm obsessed. I remember reading Mile High and falling for Stevie, thinking THIS IS REAL. THIS IS ME. but then Indy came along and BAM!

Ryan is the perfect book boyfriend. I totally understand why he's everyone's favorite, but the suspension of disbelief went just a little too far for me that it pulled me out of the book.  He was amazing, what fantasies are made of, and low key boring.  WHOOPS!

But I love the couple, I love Liz's writing, and I even though it took me more than a year to read it, I loved the pacing and ups and downs. It felt indie in that it felt like a year in the life and not just one set plot arc that cookie cutter wrapped up.  Like a real relationship.
