I did not enjoy this at all. But I also understand why people would like it. Reylo fanfic isn’t my favorite at all but sometimes I can get past it.  This one I absolutely could not. It’s boring and childish and so cringe. The writing is fine but it reads like an NA romance - the choices Gwen and Alex/Xander make feel young, the language feels young (which I guess makes sense because she is 22!!!! I didn’t realize she was so young from the blurb). Even the tension wasn’t giving a lot of tension - the ending was predictable and therefore not satisfactory. 

Overall this wasn’t for me. Was I biased because I already don’t love how reylo fanfic has taken over the romance industry? Maybe. But regardless I don’t think it’s a good book.
