Overall, I really liked this book. The writing reminded me of Curtis Sittenfeld in the best way, and I was so sucked into the book that I read nearly the whole thing in one day.

The only thing I didn't like was the ending--it didn't really feel like an HEA and wasn't satisfying for me. I'll put more details below but beware for some spoilers about the ending.

Okay so I'm fine with ambiguous endings, or endings where they haven't figured everything out yet. But they didn't even see each other? The last time we saw Sam she was still at The One being sent home and upset. I want just even a *sentence* of them being together at the end, not Emily just asleep in her car. That's not the happy ending you sign up for with a romance. I can fill in the blanks, sure, but I need a *crumb* first. I just keep thinking about how unsatisfying that ending was and how after all that buildup I really needed *something* there at the end to make it worth it. Super frustrating because if there was literally even one line (like, she gets to Sam and Sam looks remotely happy to see her, even if it ends right then with neither of them saying anything), I would be raving about how much I love this book. And instead most of my review is about my one problem with it.

 

Okay. That out of my system, I really did love this book besides for that one thing about it. I'd recommend it to romance fans for sure, and I look forward to reading more of Argy's work in the future. Thank you to Netgalley and G.P. Putnam's Sons for the chance to read and review this ARC.
