This wasn't really a serious book and it definitely showed. This was my first "why choose" where the guys didn't know each other at all prior to meeting the girl. Our girl here is Elise, and she really wasn't my favorite at all. She was all over the place, and I really think she needed to grow up a bit. She was a bit immature and had horrible communication skills.
Our three men Banks, Gabe, and Tobias met by chance when they were all stuck on a tram with Elise. From there, they were all entranced with her and chose to pursue her together. It was never supposed to be anything serious, but feelings arise anyways.
There really was no reason for these men to be so hooked on Elise, but it is what it is. There was also this mystery subplot which I did not vibe with at all.
In the end, it was fine. Not a new favorite, but a good time if you don't think about it too much.
