⇢The Plot
This book had an intriguing concept, and definitely gave us an NA protagonist that isn’t seen all too often. Because the book focused a lot on the characters themselves there wasn’t really a “plot” and it just followed the characters as their relationship developed, which wouldn’t have been a problem if the blurb hadn’t been so misleading.

Based on the description I was waiting for a conflict involving Troy and it just… barely ever came? The whole thing didn’t really last long and it came so late in the book anyhow. I mean, that’s not really an issue, but it was confusing for me because I put a lot of stock in blurbs. I know this is honestly an insignificant issue but just wanted to mention it.

⇢Theo
Starting off with Theo, as much as I appreciated his character and think that we need more main characters like him, I just didn’t vibe with him all that much.

The main reason why was the way his personality felt like it was switching back and forth at times. Yeah, he was sweet most of the time but there were a few scenes where he acted a bit out of character even to the point of making rude or harmful statements that I just didn’t like. Maybe I’m judging him a bit too harshly because I really wanted him to maintain that “nice guy” personality all the time, but I don’t know, he just felt off at times and was sort of hard for me to connect to.

However, I want to reiterate that it’s great that there are protagonists like him who are sweet and not interested in sports and not players and who basically go against that stereotypical NA guy. 


⇢Theo and Laney
Starting off with early on in the book, I have to admit I didn’t really feel the chemistry between them. I honestly felt like they’d be better off as just friends. Fortunately, that changed about 60% in, and I really started rooting for them. I definitely wish their relationship had been a bit more slow burn so that we could have gotten to see them as friends for longer, but other than that, I think they were great. Super cute!
