I was so excited for this book when I read the synopsis, but was a bit disappointed by some of the things that happened.
First I have to say, Eric is a sweetheart and I would protect him with my life! He is such a lovely character.
Miles on the other hand is a bit all over. I know he is still trying to figure stuff out with his ex, but he shouldn't have done it in the way that he did. At some points he really was as empathetic as a wet sock.
For the same reason I was so disappointed in Paige. Like what was the reason? There were so many better ways than to do what she did.
All in all it was sweet story, but I got a bit too annoyed with some of the characters to really enjoy it.
