‘Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.’

‘There is no passion to be found in playing small, in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.’

“Don’t spend so much time whining about how you got here. Put your energy into changing course…”

“I think people show you who they are, Ace. At some point you’ve got to believe them.”

Me ~ Tomorrow can’t come soon enough. You want to meet at the lake in the afternoon?

Jett ~ How about I pick you up at noon and we go to the diner for lunch? I want to feed you first.

Jett ~ I kiss you until your lips are swollen and aching.			

it’s been a nice story and a nice meaning behind this book and i enjoyed myself while reading it but i wasn’t impressed or convinced.

it being a young adult romance —which means the POVs are written as if being a young adult— although this makes it quite genuine, i couldn’t find it genuine enough. most of the things felt unrealistic and i was a bit irritated with some of the dialogues and the internal monologues (she has my back, i have your back, they have my back, we have our backs etc., etc. 😅) maybe that’s why i can’t be related, and having read other young adult romances before i can tell that my age gap isn’t the reason i can’t.

also, the love triangles is something i don’t like reading and seeing someone being perfect and then being the asshole and then being super good irritates me. plus the fact that it makes me sad when people with history end up like that and when someone has to be hurt 😔.

also, it created a few questions for me that i didn’t get the answers.

anyway, it was okay. i was calm and enjoyed my evenings and afternoons reading it. to be honest, i want to see what i’ll think about the next book in the series because i like the trope much more!
