this book was fine. it was cute. but there were a few issues i had with it. first of all, a lot of the characters didn’t feel like real people. no one talks like oliver. no one acts like alex or rhys or bridget. second, they kept alluding to oliver’s past without ever actually explaining anything, which was annoying. third, i wasn’t a fan of how the intimacy scenes were written. finally, it was too long. the plot just kept dragging on and on. this book should have been about 300 pages shorter. also, his dad’s storyline turned out so weird. but it was cute enough. and im a sucker for romance. so yeah, i’ll read the second one.
