I absolutely enjoyed this story. I stayed up all night reading it until I finished it. I loved how realistic felt. Each and every character was flawed in some way. 

And I loved how Luke wasn't the typical attractive male lead but Ryan loved him anyway. I loved how naturally their relationship progressed from a mutual dislike of each other to love and how nothing felt rushed between them. Especially after what happened to Ryan. I feel that whole situation was handled fantastically. 

I also loved the cast of side characters. Olive such a cutie and I hate what has had to deal with at her age. I also loved the rest of Luke's family. I love how close they all are while due to their parents actions, it was sweet reading about such close siblings who take care of each other. 

I also loved the representation of a healthy amicable divorce between Ryan's parents and how close they are even after being married to different people. I really enjoyed the fact that they were so close and got along with each other's partners.

Everything about this book was great. I would absolutely recommend.
