Rezension von RaghnaA cute and light Story for every day (my personal opinion) to shut the brain down and put all worrys aside. Im defintily more a Fan of the male lead ,but hey :)
Rezension von Valeria PuginHat mir gut gefallen. Die Liebesgeschichte ist schon sehr außergewöhnlich aber trotz dessen sehr schön.
Rezension von Mallery CardarelliI enjoyed the dynamic between Jordan and Pike. I honestly just wish there was more information about Cole and his relationship with his dad Pike. The ending was bland compared to everything else in the book. I personally felt it was rushed.

Rezension von Sophia NI think it was a nice book but not that special to me. The love story between Pike and Jordan is cute. I think it's pretty accurate with the type of love that hits you like a truck when you don't see it coming. The age gap was not my thing but if you kinda ignore it (as good as possible) it's a cute love story. Things like being lost in your 20s, the normalised excessive drinking and feeling like you don't belong were topics I relate to. But it was so predictable how everything goes and for people who read a lot probably a bit boring or basic. If you just started reading and deep diving in the book bubble but have no clue what you like and prefer it's a good book, I think.
