*4.5 Stars*

I'm not really sure where to start with this one. I will say I was pretty much instantly hooked on the storyline and engaging with the characters.

The Connor part of the storyline was really good and was something extra to focus on instead of the lovey dovey stuff and the situations playing out from that, and gave the reader something real to focus on - that kind of thing does happen in real life and is a serious issue, and I always like it when authors manage to involve serious life issues in their stories. It makes them more real.

When the secrets started popping out though with Caleb, I just could't fathom how Hannah could even contemplate staying with him. Yeah the circumstances were a bit different and it wasn't a traditional situation, but still, I think it was a little unbelievable.

And all of this after only a week or two? A bit too much insta-love in this one for me. Normally I don't mind that kind of thing, but in this book I think it was a bit too much too soon.

That said though, I couldn't stop myself from being addicted to this book and wanting to know what would happen. The secondary characters really helped build character in the story, especially Lizzy and Lucas.

I also loved how Hannah had a passion and she was able to still work on her dream with said passion, with all that was going on. And how she was portrayed as enjoying it so much yet being uniquely good at it.

I do feel like the ending was left a bit open though, and we weren't given answers about certain situations. Not sure if this is going to be a stand-alone or if maybe we'll get some more books, but I don't think we will because of how the ending read. Unless its from another characters POV, maybe Lucas, which would actually be a really entertaining book to read.

A bit all over the place with my thoughts on this one I know, but I did thoroughly enjoy after all I've said, and I would still recommend it to other people to read. It was a quick and easy read and a good book to immerse yourself into.
