3.0

This book started off with a strong start then started to become boring in certain places. More than half way through I gave up and started to follow along with the audiobook but don't get me wrong this was a good book but it was also a bad one. I did not enjoy the cheating trope and I felt sorry for Kevin. The way Gabby and Travis didn't care about his feelings truly after so called falling in love with each other after one weekend was crazy. Her and Kevin lacked communication skills and instead of cheating on him she should've sat down with him and told him what she wanted from him instead of telling me. Did Gabby get on my nerves a couple of time...? Yes. The second half was very repetitive to tell you the truth and could've been shorter. Honestly the whole book could've been shorter but all in all still a seemingly good book just not a book I would be quick to reread again.
