This was a great book that I really enjoyed from start to finish!

I thought Carter was a great character and I loved that she was a teacher and really wanted to help the kids. I loved her friendship with Liam and how he was always there for her as much as possible. Her new friendship with Taylor was also great but I definitely didn’t trust her roommate Lexi.

Austin was a jerk at the beginning and you kind of feel bad when you learn about his bad breakup with his ex, Hailey. Part of you knew he had to be a good guy as he was friends with Liam but I knew things would get messy when he said he didn’t want a relationship due to his career.

I understood completely why Carter needed a break due to her feelings and I was so mad at the club with what she saw. I was so mad at Lexi with the messages she would send Carter. I was also super mad at Austin and how he turned to drinking and other things to deal with how he was trying to deny his own feelings. I wasn’t too sure about seeing Carter move on with Kyle but I could tell she wasn’t over Austin.

When the things started to go crazy with Carter I had a couple of guesses of who was behind it and I was right. I was definitely worried for Carter as things began to escalate! The end was definitely scary and I was very proud of Carter’s dog Blue!

The very end and epilogue were great and I look forward to another book by this author!
