I was provided with an ARC of this book for my honest review.So I wanted to take a few days and really think about this book so that I could properly review it.First, let me say that I love dual pov's! Its nice to get inside the head of both characters and see what they're struggling with.Noah was a great character I liked being in his head the most!"...she makes me nervous. I don't get nervous, which makes me nervous about being nervous with her."  LOVE THAT!  He's tough and kinda brash, but we get to see his struggles and issues and how he's been hurt and I like that he didn't just meet Maddy and instantly fall in love and become a different person. At the same time, we get to see how as he starts to get a handle on things, he is changing...and we get to see it all.The characters unraveled in a more natural way, I think, not the love at first sight and all. I like that they were realistic, they said things they shouldn't have, and they knew it, and like the rest of us, they rationalized it!I enjoyed the secondary characters for the most part--a few of them had some "moments" where I was like, slow your roll, but again, that's life. There was at least one time where I wanted to smack Maddy-well, maybe two times :)  but thats because Noah was like...well, Noah :)I loved the pop culture references, the songs, T.V. shows and the dialogue wasn't super sophisticated for the age group. There were a few times when things felt a little repetitive, especially in Noah's inner dialogue, but overall it wasn't distracting.Definitely has it's "hot" spots, too!I'll never look at french maids or brownie mix the same ever again!Looking forward to more from Annie!
