i really enjoyed this book!! while the ship in this one happened to quickly for my liking, i liked brooklyn and jess together anyway. they make a very wholesome pair. the group of friends is the best part of the book, in my opinion. i got attached to them very quickly. can't wait to see their love stories in the rest of the series. yeah, sometimes it fell in the territory "tell, don't show", but it didn't bother me a whole lot. we all need meaningless fluff in romance from time to time.
