Review: Like looking at a buffet but not allowed to fill your plate

Loved the premise but the story was a little too shallow for me. There was a ton of drama but it wasn't deep enough IMO - kinda like having someone take you on a tour of a buffet without letting you stop and fill your plate. This may just be a style issue so take my opinion with a grain of salt.Aislynn and Jace are dealing with issues (previous relationships, health concerns, family drama) and neither is looking for a relationship when they meet. Great set up but I pretty much finished it out of stubbornness. Gave it 2 stars because of the premise. This is not a read-again book for me and it didn't make me hunger for Phoebe Lane's other books. :(There were a few oddities, like when Jace takes a 'red eye' from San Diego to San Francisco - which is about an hour flight. In my experience a red eye leaves late at night and arrives the next morning (e.g., departs at midnight, arrives at 5 am). I've never heard anyone call a short flight a red eye. This kind of detail was very distracting for me. There were other errors, like writing "Jace looked up at Aislynn, trying to gage her reaction." This should have been "gauge". I know some of y'all are giving me the stink-eye but misspellings are really distracting for some of us.On the other hand, good quotes:"Worrying is like praying for what you don’t want.""People spend a lifetime trying to find things that make them happy, surround themselves with people who bring out the best in them…When I close y eyes and think about my future, all I see is you.
