I couldn’t stand the main characters, the constant “not like other girls” descriptions, and suddenly a character
has OCD
. But I enjoyed the plot, found it a quick easy read, and am excited for the next book because it’s about a character I liked more.

leaned too far into the “not like other girls” trope,
i really felt it was SO unnecessary that brandon ended up dying that just ripped my heart out for no reason and i kinda hated it

I love how believable these characters are, but the refusal to communicate trope is tired. The drama ramps up dramatically in the second half and the tone shifts SERIOUSLY. Be mindful of the content warnings.

Really enjoyed this book until about 80% in. Felt it was unnecessary conflict in what I was hoping to be an easy read. Suppose it all gets resolved in book 2?

Kristen is in a 2 year relationship with Tyler, a linguist in the marines who speaks 9+ languages. Her mom loves him, her dog hates him. 

Josh is fresh out of a long relationship and has just moved to LA to work as a fireman alongside his best friend, Brandon. He could use some extra money though as he’s left everything to his ex girlfriend, so he offers to help Kristen build stairs for her small dog business. 

Serious sexual tension between Kristen and Josh arises (inevitably) but Kristen squarely puts Josh in the friend zone and stays loyal to Tyler.
