4.5 out of 5 stars.
I loved this story, it's told in the alternate prospectives of Jessie and Boyd two people who i would say aren't best suited for relationships due to their inner demons that i think they help each other fight throughout this book. (i don't want to go into too much depth with the plot because i think it would be great to read it fresh but the blurb is here)
Okay so i'm going to start off by saying that i loved Jessie, i thought she was well developed and although she appeared a little dependant i liked her attitude, there was just something really likable about her.
and Boyd.... I will praise the author, Christy Rey is from Miami and i don't know much about whether she had lived in England before or whether she had someone help but the English terms were correct ( i.e Flat instead of apartment) and small dialogue things that really just shaped this character to be who he was, being from England i often find myself annoyed at authors who misinterpret British culture or language and i was very happy reading this to realise that the small details had been looked at and were accurate.
The Gay best friend Cliche can be done either right or wrong... and in this book it was done right, it was there, it wasn't hidden but he was just an average guy ( well as average as a movie-star can get) and i loved that, i loved that Jessie and Tyler's relationship was about love and respect and friendship rather than his sexual orientation, somthing i think we can all respect.
The reason i didn't give this book 5 stars is purely because i found the writing style to be confusing at first, however this wasn't a major issue and i soon grew comfortable with it, hence only the half star docking instead of a full.
All in all i would recommend this book, its a great book to read this summer should you be looking for a summer read
