What I liked
- The relationship between the characters: It's not often that you see two characters getting along without fighting beforehand, it was quite refreshing to see the relationship between Sydney and Ridge scalate from a simple camaraderie to something else, to something they haven't felt in a while.
- The difficulties between them: There are many books in which the main character leaves everything to be with the person he/she thinks are right, but in this case there was more in stake and it wasn't as easy, therefore the name of the book.
- The plot: Yes, it's based on the Y/A model of books, but it was really well managed in the sense that there weren't any huge problems, it was a more realistic book and not so much over the top.
What I didn't like
- The "fall out": Almost every Y/A book has it but in this case it was a lot if you think about all the complications they have through the book, I get why it was there, but it was unnecessary, it made it that bit longer and a bit tedious.
- The tragedy: One of the characters suffers before the book starts and it changes the whole tematic, I feel like the way they added those events only made me feel pity for the character and it didn't changed much for me.
In general it's a good book that presents a bit of a twist on your normal Y/A novel, I would recommend if you want to start with Colleen Hoover books, it's well written, it's light and enjoyable, it barely contains any mature language.
For me it's a 3.5 out of 5.
Mayte.
