Es hat ein bisschen gedauert mit dem Buch warm zu werden, aber spätestens nach dem ersten Drittel hat mich die Story dann doch noch ziemlich gepackt. Es hat ein bisschen gedauert mit dem Buch warm zu werden, aber spätestens nach dem ersten Drittel hat mich die Story dann doch noch ziemlich gepackt. Lilly Lucas hat einen wirklich tollen, angenehm flüssigen Schreibstil, und auch die sehr präsenten Nebencharaktere fand ich interessant, sodass ich die beiden Fortsetzungen auf alle Fälle auch noch lesen werde.
Stellenweise ein bisschen langweilig, weil nicht viel passiert ist und auch mit Aurora bin ich nicht ganz warm geworden,✨ 3 Sterne ✨
Das Buch war okay.
Stellenweise ein bisschen langweilig, weil nicht viel passiert ist und auch mit Aurora bin ich nicht ganz warm geworden, aber ansonsten hat es für eine Sommerromanze schon ganz gut gepasst.

I liked both characters and that their hatred and anger stemmed from a hurtful past, not a mutual dislike. There isn't much plot, but that was fine as I only came for the romance anyway....more

I didn‘t like either Cassidy nor Celeste with their over the top personalities and that totally destroyed the vibes, which is such a shame, because the writing was really good.

Unfortunately, the book didn’t leave a lasting impression.
I don’t want to go into too much detail so I’m only going to say this:
I found Kingston very immature and self-centered and Cam could have used a little more personality. And the drama with his mother was totally unnecessary, if you ask me. I think it was supposed to give the story a sad background even though there was already enough going on.
This book could probably work for a younger audience but it just wasn‘t for me. Sorry!...more
I really, really, really don't like the let's-take-revenge-on-my-ex trope**spoiler alert** DNF at 10%
Look, I'm going to be brutally honest right now.
I really, really, really don't like the let's-take-revenge-on-my-ex trope. I knew from the start this book would feature said trope, but I was hoping it wouldn't be too bad.
Most people move on after a bad breakup, but Hazel clearly didn't. She thought it would be an excellent idea to stoop to her ex's level and take revenge on him by fake dating his biggest rival. Bitter, much? Rory, however, disappointed me the most. He was supposed to be the epitome of a golden retriever, but at the beginning of the book, he was just an arrogant and sleazy guy that stared at his crush's ass all the time.
Things would've probably gotten better if I had continued with the book, but I disliked the beginning so much that I didn't want to read it anymore.
