Two weeks after original review: 
 Bumped up to 4 stars. After I wrote the review, I wondered how I can let a 5-star read be spoiled, just because I claimed too much mushiness. I went back and rerated 'ACOAR" too - and in turn, I will give this higher marks. I'm actually addicted to Lauren Layne's style and easy-going fluidity. Her books are so on the money and easy to read. I am personally going to hunt down every book she's ever written :) 
 Original review: 
 5-star till the last chapters. Then lack of editing and too much mushiness just got on top of me. Yes, I docked two whole points because of that. What can I say? Endings are...important. Endings are what leaves a lasting impression. Much like A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, which I actually rated as a 2-star read throughout, right till the last third, where I bumped it up to 5 - endings matter a whole lot. Michael St. Claire and Chloe Bellamy make a pretty awesome pair. He's her personal trainer, and she's trying to get her sister's boyfriend to see her more than the funny sidekick. In the process, personal trainer and Chloe fall for each other. 
 But the grand gestures in the end? 
 Paul, Liv, Ethan, Stephanie showing up? Gag me, please. 
 Also it's a dual narration, but I'm pretty sure Michael asks her twice about has she moved on....editing mistake all over, because in the first instance she replies that she hasn't moved on that quick, and the second time, she said she was never going to answer....whaaa? 
 Confused. 
 I will re-read the ending at a later time, to see if I got it right or wrong.
