Wow, did this book ever blow me out of the water. I’ve been reading a lot (and I mean, A LOT) of angsty new adult books this past year, and I was getting a little worried that I’ve become jaded of them, since the last few I’ve read have been a four star read at best. But then I read this one.
It’s deliciously angsty, yet never over the top. Eva has such a tragic backstory, one revealed in flashbacks, but she’s an incredibly strong heroine. The author fights some tropes with this heroine, in the sense that she isn’t the virginal wallflower that we see A LOT in these types of books. She’s tough, snarky, and driven. But she’s far from undamaged, and that’s what makes her such a compelling character.
Easton is a fabulous hero. We get to see animosity between him and Eva in the beginning of the book. It’s not quite a bully romance, because he essentially just ignores her. Again, he doesn’t fit the cookie-cutter mold of new adult athlete characters. He has a lot of depth, a career that he’s compelled to explore regardless of his parents� disappointment, and he isn’t a player I absolutely loved watching Easton and Eva’s story unfold, and there are quite a few bits that were so darn cute that they had me gushing (orange juice, anyone?)
Highly recommend this book to fans of the genre--just go into it cognizant of the trigger warnings.
