I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved how the characters were portrayed, and how you really got to know them throughout their lives; to see them grow/develop as well as seeing them struggle. I think the book was very well written and the characters as well as the story felt real to me. Sometimes I could not stand Dexter but I still enjoyed his part of the story. I think it was nice that this book was written from both their perspectives. The plot was a bit abrupt for me, but at the same time I did like the last chapters of the book and it helped me to understand their relationship a bit better. Overall, I felt like I was immersed with their love story and wanted to keep reading so I would recommend this book. However, I am very new to the romance genre so I do not have many romance books to compare it to.
