I really love Lynn Painter’s writing but overall, I cringed at certain portions of this book.

I found Olivia to be whiny, immature, and annoying at the very beginning of the book. Her level of immaturity was incredulous and I expected a miracle in order to develop her character.

Scenarios in the book were very unrealistic - 9/10 times, if a random number texts you, you aren’t going to hold a serious conversation. I love the idea of it happening, but it’s not realistic and I didn’t feel like it gave much to the story.

The story got better as it went on and I found myself rooting for Colin & Olivia. I even found myself tearing up at some points. I also appreciated that the bedroom scenes had spice without it being straight smut.
