Wow. This is a great story but it's no light read in my opinion. Biz is a college student dealing with anxiety due to something that happened to her the previous year and she is desperately trying to get back to being herself. Davis is the super hot guy of few words but they are instantly drawn to each other even though he is engaged and is also known as a player...yes, even while being engaged! He also has some things in his past that he is trying to work thru as well. From the start I wanted these two to get together and was drawn into the story not just about them as a couple but about what was driving them to act the way they were.The author wrote a very real, complicated, emotional and intense story here. There is a fabulous romance in this book but it's not your typical one by any means. The other characters are great and add to the story especially Jules and Charlie. Emme Burton tackles some serious issues including mental health and sexual abuse/promiscuity and she does it very well. While this story contains these subject matters, there are some great funny scenes too and it's not all intense or serious.You do indeed get a happy ending although....that's why I didn't give it 5 stars. I wanted or needed more at the end. I still had a few questions and felt like I could have used another chapter at least. There is no cliffhanger though.If you like your romance stories with real life issues and not just angst or 'fluff' then this is a great book for you.
