Overall I really enjoyed this book!
However it felt like every 45 pages (or less) there needed to be a beat taken to explain adhd or ocd. And as someone who has knowledge and experience with them it felt forced and really annoying. I'm a little to chronically online for this mental health representation. It was like a 101 lesson on an illness I've experienced first hand AND have several friends and family that also experience.
I loved loved loved the chemistry between Jack and Raine! And all the side characters were a delight!!!

Ali Hazelwood has done it again!
This one wasn't my favorite of hers yet I was still sucked in (even sneaking a few sentences of reading while at work because I couldn't put it down)
Bee was a little too much of manic pixie dream girl personality but she still had me giggling and kicking my feet
5 stars would read again

Note to self. Never read a book that takes place in Minnesota.
I have family in Wahkon and picturing the map of it made me critical. No one is driving from wahkon to Rochester every week. I wouldn't even drive my Minneapolis to Rochester every week and wahkon is 2 hours FARTHER north.
Otherwise the most perfect book ever.
Note to audiobook narrator: we don't say Ant in Minnesota. We say Aunt
