3.5 stars

This book kept me mostly engaged throughout. I appreciated the commentary on the difficulties recent graduates face (which I am currently experiencing) and the big divide between how different economic classes live. I also liked how we saw how offhand comments and jokes can be harmful and seeing Isla address them.

I haven't read a single POV book in a while, and while it didn't detract anything from the story, I wish we could've had a glimpse into Cade's mind and a deeper look into how his upbringing and background affected him. I liked Isla well enough, but some of her decisions frustrated me. However, I liked watching her grow and enjoyed going on house-sitting adventures with her. I also really like her developing friendship with Neeta and would love to see more of them one day.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
