**I received this book as an ARC in return for my honest review**

I loved Cal and Piper together, seeing their relationship slowly develop. There’s a lot going on in the story at the same time, with Piper’s past and her trust issues coming from that, and Cal’s choice to want to get with her to mess with her brother, but it worked well in the plot. There was a great pacing, and I really liked how everything went after the inevitable blowup after Piper found out why Cal started seeing her. It was done in such a refreshing way from a lot of stories with this trope. Communication is so important, but I think knowing when to give people space is just as important. It really saved the book for me after the setup.
