The plot was pretty good and I loved the Arizona setting! I ultimately did not really like the MMC at all (other than at the very beginning of the book because I did like him as an 18-year-old). There was a lot of push and pull between the main characters with juvenile reactions that made it hard to stay invested in their relationship, especially because of Andrés. Some of the scenes didn’t really make sense to me because it felt like they were out of character for how I’d imagine the character to be feeling. This is also very much a “me” problem, but I have a really hard time mentally processing different or repetitive phrases or curse words. Lonnie said “holy wow,” or “oh my wow” a feeeeeew too many times for me.  

Brynn's writing is wonderful though, and you should give this book a try!
