I usually prefer the romances I read to be from both characters' perspectives, but having only Nina's perspective worked quite well here. The chapter titles were a much appreciated touch -- I've always loved them but they seem to have gone out of style a while ago.

Nina was a fascinating character to follow. Her anxieties, even if they seemed irritating at times, were completely justified within the context of her past. She was well formed and unique. Ari was a very entertaining love interest, she was fun and you could tell she had hidden troubles and such.

Nina's friends were well formed and unique but a certain spoilery fact made me confused as it seemed a little strange but. What can you do. I did love Lorna, she was great.

Ari and Nina's romance was actually very cute and enjoyable, even if the third act conflict was irritatingly miscommunication-y.

Here's the thing though: it kind of felt like there was no point to the story throughout the middle of the story because the main plot line and romance kind of stagnated.

Overall, a great book! Very entertaining if not overly memorable.
