4.0

This book leaned hard on the instalove. Eve and Hunter met on the first night at college but didn’t exchange info. By the time they crossed paths again, Eve was in a relationship that lasted 41 months. Finally single again, Eve ends up carpooling with Hunter to spring break with their friends. 

When Hunter and Eve decide to get together, it goes from zero to 100. It feels like maybe 2 weeks in they are already dwelling on those three little words. I would have liked to see a little more progression in their relationship before it was full on relationship central.

Similarly to other books in this series, both Eve and Hunter struggle with familial drama. In this book, it felt most believable to me.  I appreciate that the family issues are not laid out first thing, but pieces are fed to the reader as the character becomes more developed over the course of the story.

In the digital version of this book, a bonus chapter is included wrapping up the series. In it we get to see all the characters four years in the future. There are little updates about their families and lives after college. Though not fully necessary for the story, it was a fun way to say goodbye to the series and these characters.
