3.5 stars 
 It's so hard to write down my thoughts on this book. I read it this morning and have been putting off rating it for the whole day, hoping against hope that my jumbled thoughts and emotions would settle enough to write something coherent. Alas, it was not meant to be. 
 First of all let me say that I greatly enjoyed reading this book. It was short, fast paced and perfect for my current mood. There really isn't much to complain about the writing style, and the characters were fun to read about. 
 Bex is a determined, witty artist with a delightful Wednesday Addams vibe. She loves drawing anatomical illustrations and even goes as far as to draw cadavers, which turned out to be a great combination of fun and morbid at the same time. 
 Jack is an infamous graffiti artist who has a mysterious past and some unresolved issues. He is incredibly charming and sweet and I loved the interactions and banter between him and Bex. 
 This book explores art and what it means to be an artist, which I found extremely interesting. It touches some heavy subjects like mental illness, poverty, family issues and more. 
 I loved that it was a very sex positive book and didn't shy away from this theme like many YA novels do. The romance was sweet and at times steamy. 
 Another thing worth mentioning is the setting - San Francisco features prominently in the story and is almost a separate character, that lives and breathes along with our main heroes. It happens to be my favorite city in the US and I was so happy to revisit its foggy streets and beautiful parks! 
 So why 3.5 stars? 
 To be honest, I wasn't convinced by some plot lines and there was too much drama. Most of the issues, like mental illness and divorce were handled very well, but towards the end of the book that sweet romance that made me feel all warm and fuzzy at the beginning, went downhill. The feelings between the protagonists escalated a bit too quickly to be entirely believable and there was too much angst. It felt like the author wanted to add more tension to the story when that wasn't really necessary. 
 Also both of the characters had that manic pixie dream girl/boy quality and felt too perfect. Bex constantly swoons over how hot Jack is and their dialogues are at times cheesy, so it made me feel more detached from the characters than I'd be otherwise. 
 All in all this was a sweet, at times heartbreaking story that I'd recommend to any romantic at heart. It gave me the feels and despite its faults it made me cheer for the characters to have their happily ever after. 
 I'm increasing the rating to 4 stars here on goodreads because of San Francisco!
