"I listened to this and it was really cute actually. I thought it was going to be pretty corny but I liked this book a lot!"

"Just a fun and quick read!"

Jonathan Kent

"DNF. Hated the characters, I could not stand to read another page. This was probably because I was starting to get into LGBT books at the time of reading this."

"This was a fun read! A little slow at first but as soon as I got into it, it was over before I knew it! Huge plot twist but the story was very real and raw which I personally like in a book. Love Samantha and Jase’s relationship!"

"I LOVED THIS BOOK. I read this about 6 months ago and it has stuck with me, and that is saying something because I tend to forget the last book I read as soon as I start a new one. I love the characters so much and how the guy treats the girls just melts my heart. 10/10 recommend "
