Thank you Macmillan Audio and LibroFM for this ALC.
It breaks my heart to give this one 3 stars. Really. It was going to be at least 4/4.25 star rating until the third act.
Starting off, this book is the second in a series but it can be read as a standalone. I haven’t read the first book.
I was absolutely devouring this on audio (same narrator as the narrator for One Last Stop), but then it all went downhill.
I was really liking this one until the third act. Two third act conflicts - one of which was was resolved in just a few paragraphs?
I really enjoyed Tara and Seth’s small town, date on a date relationship. It was cute and actually a little relatable. However, I found that the narrative of Tara not being able to love again due to her ex was mentioned a little too much (in my opinion).
Seth basically ‘slut shamed’ Tara at the start of the third act and that’s when it started going downhill for me. It’s like the glass sealing broke for me and all of the cheesiness of the plot came came down. It just kept getting cheesier.
Is this a cute read perfect for a quick summer read. Yes
Will I read the first book in the series now? Not sure
