Lately I've decided that I wanted to give some New Adult romances a try and when this popped up in my netgalley feed I definitely wanted to read it! Overall this book was average..it didn't wow me as some other novels do, but I really liked the main characters and I thought the story was well written and well done.What I really liked about this book was the two main characters, April and Matthew. At first, April seems sort of weak and she pretty much lets her sister walk all over her. By the end of the novel, however, April is able to stand up to her sister and realize that she's not all that great that she seems to be. When you first read the summary of this book, you definitely have some assumptions about the male lead in this book, Matthew. I definitely thought he was going to be a jerk, but as you see throughout the novel, there are definitely two sides to every story and I am really glad that we got to see how kind and caring Matthew could be.What I didn't love about this book was that a lot of scenes felt super rushed and the ending didn't feel very realistic. Yes, it was the typical "happy ending" but I kind of wish we delved deeper in how people actually feel about April dating Matthew, instead of rushing there relationship.Overall, this was a cute, quick new adult read. I definitely think you should check it out if you are looking for a light summer read!
