Okay, first and foremost… I WAS SWOONING. This literally made me feel the anticipation of a teenager with a crush. These characters are some of my favorites of all time and this was sheer perfection! 

Lucie was a unique character. She’s got the whole “different than other girls” things going for her but not in the awful, played out way. Aiden had some hang-ups but really came through in the end. He was such a sweetheart and I don’t think I would’ve loved this book so much if we didn’t get his POV. He’s precious. 

It felt so much like these were real people and I grew so attached to them. I hope we get to see them pop up a little more in this series.
