4.5 STARSI have read Megan Smith's other books and enjoyed their pace and characters so I assumed this would be a great read !! I was right , a nice fast paced rainy day read. Thanks Megan you did it again !! It starts out with Jasmine,beautiful rich girl escapes her horrible parents and heads to New York with her childhood BFF Summer. They live in a decent building and work simple jobs and spend their time chilling and dancing at clubs with their guy BFF Rex. Summer is outspoken and fun and her and Rex kind of have a thing going on. Rex is hot and of course a great friend. His brother Knox comes into the picture and the story starts to take a turn. Knox is the typical book hottie !! The second he is mentioned you want a piece !! The second you "see" him you are swooning. He is moody and sexually frustrating which equals great reading. You get small glimpses from Knoxs' POV so you immediately know his reasons for seeking out Jasmine come from something major but will we ever find out what ?? Rex is trying to get his brother to change his mind but really Knox is falling for Jasmine all on his own and his plans are not going the way he wanted. They take a trip to the guys family vacation home and spend time with a fun gang of people. They become fast friends and the trip is full of fun and small glimpses into Knoxs' issues. You get just enough to want to know and piece by piece things start to add up so you can attempt to figure him out. Jasmine and Knox fall in love fast. But when their little happy vacation ends so does their happiness. A few twists and a MAJOR turn , WOW what a small world it is. Yes some major life changing events occur but neither Jasmine or Knox have done anything wrong so it is easy to see how they can still get their HEA. Yes I felt heartbroken for Jasmine and Knox but also content not having the book carry on and on about the heartbreak. I do not feel cheated out of any details, the book was written well for a quick read. Could it have been longer , yes. Could there have been a lot of details , yes. But I am satisfied with the way it flowed and look forward to reading more about this gang. I am happy that Knox and Jasmine have their HEA !! I absolutely recommend this book , it is a perfect rainy day/summertime read !!
