I've read each of these author's individual work and I find alot to recommend, but together I think they make a fabulous writing team.  I enjoyed this book alot, reading it in just a few sittings over the course of a day (~3500 kindle locations).  it was a good "slow burn" type of romance, no Insta love.  both characters were portrayed realistically (at least to it felt it to me) and I enjoyed not only getting to know them but watching their relationship unfold.  Lots of little details that reminded me how much fun it is to "fall in love" (which I guess is a pretty good reason why I like this type of book).  I found both characters sympathetic and enjoyed Trey's "voice".  Although Trey's problems are a little difficult to read about, I totally felt for him and understood his feelings throughout.  I did not think it made the book to angsty.  I also loved Vinnie and his family and enjoyed reading about his journey of self discovery.  My only issue was the weird shift in point of view which I found very annoying at first.  I ended up getting over it by the end, but it was jarring at first, not sure what the benefit of it was rather than keeping it all in alternating first person point of view (LA Witt's "Where there's smoke" is an example of a book i enjoyed which uses alternating FP POV) or third person.  It's the only complaint and loses 1/2 a star for it.  Otherwise, great job!(Of course, my usual complaint of , "would have liked a little longer" only because I was sorry to see the book end.  It was tied up well though, not too rushed, it's just I like longer stories.)
