Still prefer it over other romance novels, Ali Hazelwood writes in a way that is just easy to read and really addicting, but compared to other books of hers... I wasn't left particularly impressed. The diving/athlete part is really new and sets this book apart from other titles, but the characters got on my nerves sometimes and some scenes (ESPECIALLY with the therapist) felt very repetitive and didn't add much for me.
also, Pen was not a character I liked. In the first 25% of the book i was fine with her but after that she irritated me and just felt like an obstacle to create drama instead of a character.
