This book got my attention right away. I immediately felt like the MC, Clementine, was a friend of mine. And when I met her friend, Paige, I WISHED she was a friend of mine. That's the strongest part of this book, the characters are real. They're relatable. And the way they communicate is believable. When love interest, Colin, was introduced, I practically had to wipe drool from my mouth. This author provided great descriptions. She gave just enough for me to get a feel for the people and places without going on and on for three pages about every detail. It was a 5-star read for me for the first half of the book.I did struggle with the second half, though. Things got overly dramatic and unrealistic. The physical altercations were over the top and the romantic gestures were total fantasies. A lot of the conflict was just too much and I didn't believe people would really act like that. And then the ending seemed to go on and on and on.The writing itself was good. No grammar issues or any of that. There was one very graphic sex scene but I don't recall any heavy swearing. One thing I should point out though is that it is listed as NA but the MC is, I believe, 26, which is too old to be considered NA. I thought NA meant college-age but I might be wrong. I would say this is more contemporary romance but it did remind me of a Jasinda Wilder kind of book so if you love her books, I believe you will love this one as well.I WILL read books from this author in the future.
