This sounded like a light cute read that I needed. Although Gus and January do have some serious things from their past still effecting them. I still hoped for a light read.
The atmosphere would just between a light fluffy cute read to being darker. Especially when Gus organized the research “date”. Which I was confused a little about. They were probably my least favourite parts of the book. I just didn’t care.
Gus did fell like a somewhat stereotypical hurt guy. Someone who was hurt in the past so now he doesn’t believe in love and nothing and no one will be able to change his mind. This was a little annoying at times for me. Gus definitely has issues he needs to work through and not just by dating someone.
January and Gus were cute together, even if Gus annoyed me at times. But I also found that I didn’t care too much if they ended up together or not.
Overall this was a pretty decent book. But not what I expected. I expected a light fluffy cute read. Which a large portion of this was. But the added cult research part and January dad past was unexpected and I don’t think was needed
