I needed something lighter after a few heavy hitters, and this was just right.

Except I really hated Carly Kennedy. From start to finish, I just could not warm up to her personality, her mannerisms, or her dramatics. I understand that much of it was likely a result of growing up in a tumultuous household but, ah well.

However, I liked Max, I love dogs, and I loved the story itself. It gave me butterflies and had me giggling and kicking my feet (just ask my husband).

Saw a lot of typos start to pop up in the last few chapters, I guess the editor/author got tired toward the end. Understandable. But there was also rampant ableism and some not-so-subtle anti-drug rhetoric that I didn't like. Left a bad taste!
