3.75 starsThis was an interesting story to get through and although I enjoyed the concept, I did have some difficulties with the story.Mainly, I could not connect to Jordan. I understood where she was coming from and enjoyed her story and her journey of self-discovery, but some of her actions and thoughts made it hard for me to relate to her. It was a two steps forward, one step back kind of thing. Just when I thought she was behaving as a matured young woman, she would think or do something that took me back to square one.I liked Noah though. I felt like I understood him better than I did Jordan, which felt strange to me since I only had Jordan's POV to go by.Thankfully, A.J. Pine added some interesting secondary characters, which made it fun and entertaining and worth sticking to the story. I loved Elaina, Duncan and Griffin. The author portrayed these characters in a more realistic way. Elaina and Duncan brought the humor and the college lifestyle to the story, Griffin the conflict of emotions and Noah brought in the struggle of doing the right thing and what is expected. Sadly, Jordan continued to wander aimlessly for at least the first half of the story.That said, I do think that the story was very good, especially the second half. It is at this point that Jordan gets a backbone and deals with her struggles in a more realistic way. She still had her moments, but I do think that she came to be herself and finally decided what it was that she wanted.This was also the time when I got to see Jordan and Noah together. I got to experience their connection, which helped me to cheer them on once obstacles were thrown at them.All in all, a sweet romantic read.
