A solid 3.5 stars read for me. Dylan was by far my favorite part of this book. Lexi was a perfectly fine character but Ava annoyed me. I do not think I will be reading the next book in this series simply because I could not relate to or feel interested in Ava. In general this was a fine book with a few flaws but nothing major. ( )

**I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley. All opinions are my own and not influenced by my source.**

This book was everything I thought it would be and a little bit more!

I loved Lex and Dylan's story and their connection. These two not only had great passion and sexual tension, but they also had a great relationship as friends which completely sold me over. It was so easy for me to see why these two would fall for each other and I loved their scenes together.

What I also found to be very refreshing was their relationship dynamic. Instead of some meek girl who falls for the experienced older boy, the roles are completely reversed! It was great to see a confident woman in Lex who knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to ask for it. And Dylan was so swoon-worthy! Definitely a new book boyfriend for me!

This story also had a great balance between the romance and the "coming of age" aspect. While the two plots worked well together, I thought they developed great individually as well.

Overall, this book was so much fun to read but definitely had its touching moments as well! A new favourite for this year!
