(2.5, rounding up.) This was okay, I guess? It sort of felt like two books blended together - the first part in Scotland and England, and then the second half, after the MC returns to Chicago. I feel like not very much happened in the first half and then too much happened in the Chicago half, especially in the last 100 pages or so. This just never really came to life for me, and I'm not sure why. I didn't care for Logan much (and occasionally actively disliked him), for a couple of reasons: 1) “YouTube viral video star” is just about the least-enticing possible profession for a romantic lead to have, short of “ICE agent” or “billionaire,” and 2) I don't think you get to be upset with your girlfriend for your relationship starting as a vacation fling when your whole deep secret/manpain backstory is about how your father died suddenly and now you're afraid of relationships.. Also, this isn't anything to do with the writing, but if Logan is consistently described throughout the book as ginger, why in the world does the cover dude have brown hair?
I guess I just feel like all the characters were underdeveloped, really - even Cassie, the MC, I don't feel like I ever really got into her head in more than a superficial way, and the supporting cast was even more thinly written. Cassie has four friends who have about two character traits each (one of which is their hair color, and if you took a shot every time Delaney's “strawberry blonde” ponytail was mentioned, you'd probably die) and are essentially there to set up four more books in the series. Anyway. The writing was overall good, but the pacing was off and the characters were thin, so this is a lot of words to say that while this wasn't awful, I probably won't come back to this series.
