Ari and Blake were cute! The friendships in this were so funny, the text messages between Ari and Liconl and the conversations between Ari and the disney prince Walker and the whole circle of trust thing were some of my favorite parts. Can't wait to see all these unhinged men together! 

The MCs: Ari is an unhinged golden retriever, he's been obsessed with this girl since they were kids. He has always been sure they were soulmates and did everything to make sure nothing drove them apart. His possessiveness annoyed me at times and the way he could do whatever he wanted/needed to get Blake's ex away from her was kind of ridiculously easy. The drugs, the no flight list, everything was way too easy and quickly even for someone with money.
Blake is s beautiful girl with a lot of issues, she struggled with her body image and self-confidence but a lot of that came from her parents' situation and the way her adoptive parents made her feel specially that bitch Maura. Thankfully she finds a way to deal with that, although that change and growth also felt too fast and easy.

Overall I liked the story and how protective Ari was of Blake so it made up for some inconsistencies 😅
