This was an ok book. The only reason why (in my opinion, at least) it's trending right now is because of the cover; admittedly it is aesthetic for the fall season and I can definitely see why people are drawn to it. It was on sale for .99 cents and I had some digital credits from Amazon expiring, hence why I got it. However, I think the execution of the book leaves much to be desired. I didn't connect with the characters at all and I overall thought the story was very basic and kind of boring. I definitely won't read more from this series. I can't say I'd recommend it either, there's a lot of contemporary romance novels out there that are much better and can fit the fall vibe as well.
