I enjoyed this book but some things irked me. Even tho this book is on the shorter side it didn’t feel like it, the pacing of it made it drag on enough that I was considering dnfing it at 80% as well as I did not want to deal with the third-act-breakup which I was pleasantly surprised didn’t really happen. The large chunks of paragraphs were also what made it feel soo long. The romance was nice and sweet but I was disappointed in the amount of smut scenes; like if you’re gonna do a friends with benefits situation there should be more than 3 sexy scenes. I did not appreciate the fade to black scenes. 

The time skips were not done the greatest, at least to me as three years are gone over in just the prologue and it didn’t seem like 3 years had gone by from the beginning of them meeting for the second time. 

Some characters felt a little left behind, like Cherry and Thomas, we don’t hear much about them for many chapters and then

just randomly Cherry being pregnant at the end felt thrown in as an afterthought.

As well as even after making up with her brother, we don’t learn much about present Caleb other than he’s married with a kid and works in auto. I would’ve liked more Joshua content, love them being domestic with a kid.
