I really liked the concept of this one, not so much the execution! Halle got on my nerves with her rigidity and lack of faith/trust in others, lol. I wish we saw more of Halle and Quinton as an actual couple. The buildup was good, if a bit slow, but when they became an actual couple, their relationship became so bogged down by external dramas that we didn't really see them together-together.

Quinton's sister is a wheelchair user, but we don't ever learn more about her disability. It would have been nice to have a bit of context. I liked the conversations on accessibility.

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about the bullying storyline/major twist at the end. Idk, something's rubbing me the wrong way.

I liked the third book more but don't regret reading this one. I'm not a huge fan of Synithia Williams's writing style, but that's just personal preference. Her books are super readable/easy to binge in a day or two, which I appreciate!

Thanks to the publisher for providing an advanced copy of this book!
