This started off promising and even made me laugh a few times, but around the 40% mark, it started getting boring. I really hated how stubborn Hannah was towards Taylor and how she ended up treating her after she found out what happened between her and Robby.

Of course, the more time Hannah and Jack play pretend, the ...more

4.5 stars!
I would’ve finished this in one sitting if I didn’t have responsibilities. It’s a quick-paced, truly fun read that I wish I would’ve picked up sooner. I loved the characters and the romance and their jobs! and every other little detail. And Clipper has a special place in my heart. 🥹
The writing style was different and refreshing and honestly inspiring. Adding this one to my favorites shelf!

My Grade B-
The Good and the not so Good:
-The chemistry was on point, but could have used more kissing. I wasn't expecting a full on sex scene, but the book needed more spice.
-I was hoping that there was going to be more threats for her to protect Jake from. The book needed more action.
-I loved Jakes parents! Especially the mom!
