This had way more emotion and depth than I was expecting!

Caleb and Theo are absolutely amazing mcs. They have such different backstories but are just perfect for each other and I fell head over heels for them from the very start! Their relationship is just so pure and felt so realistic.

The narrators brought both characters to life so well and it drew me into the story in a way that I know wouldn’t have happened if I’d read it instead of listened. 

There are a bunch of side characters which helped to lift this book even further. I was totally in love Ethan and Reese. I think of Coco had been in it a bit more id have fallen in love with her too!

The story overall has everything I enjoy - a sprinkle of drama, plenty of spice and all the emotions I can think of!
