I read this book in a couple of days, and it was a nice, easy read. However, I did find that the primary characters, Caleb and Gwen, exhibited a level of codependency that I personally found a tad bit excessive. 😅

I loved that there were two characters giving their own stories, and it flip-flopped back and forth, so a couple of chapters were about Gwen, and then the next couple of chapters were about Jenny. I liked that it allowed for the exploration of two distinct love stories. 📚❤️

While I applaud the inclusion of mental health as a central theme, particularly in the relationship between Dean and Jenny, I felt that the emotional breakdown depicted may have been somewhat exaggerated, especially considering the intimate moment that followed. 🤔

Overall, am I going to read more books by this author? Absolutely 💯

This is not only the perfect end of Gwen and Caleb love story but also the beginning of multiple new ones. I would definitely recommend reading the beginning of Gwen and Caleb love story in holiday Star before reading this book. 
This is not just a cute story, also darker and deeper themes are part of this book so please read the trigger warnings. 

Thank you Nerdfam for this e-Arc in exchange for my honesty review.
