I loved the first half of this book and then it just went downhill. The pacing was off in places with it backtracking so we got both POV’s. It was also a bit repetitive with arguments followed by making up and repeat. There was also a non consexual sex scene that was uncomfortable to read and it seemed to be played down. The domestic abuse of one of Caleb’s friend didn’t feel like it was taken seriously and I was hoping for a resolution. It was a long book for it to still end on a cliffhanger which did the opposite of what I assume was the authors plan. I’m now less likely to read book 2 because I read 417 pages and nothing was tied up. 

 

I did enjoy the banter between Caleb and Ari and Caleb’s friends were adorable. I adored Ari’s mum but I would be fuming if my dad treated me that way. I am a sucker for friends to lovers and I loved seeing their relationship bloom. I just wish we had got the HEA we all read romance for.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
