I was provided a free advanced copy from the publisher and author for a honest review. My thoughts and feelings were not swayed by any outside influence. 
 Actual Rating 3.5 
 The Good 
 I really enjoyed the artist side of this YA novel. I went to school for Graphic Design and being the focus of Sloane's schooling it was nice to revisit old terms and discussions. Some things were watered down a lot to make sense to others who are not familiar with art terminology but I can live with that. Sloane had a lot of personal growth in this story although she was extremely whiney in the beginning I found myself loving her the farther I read. 
 The Not so Great 
 There wasn't a lot going on in this story. Like at all. In fact I think it covers maybe 3 weeks in real time and most of that is just Sloane whining about missing NY and Tru talking about his insta attachment to Sloane and his family situation. Sloane bitched all. the. time. To her mom, friends, Tru. It got old fast. Thankfully she mostly grows out of it. 
 Overall 
 I cannot deny that I sped through this and enjoyed it. Would I be willing to reread this or go out of my way to purchase it? Probably not. There was a ton of stuff left unresolved at the end and I didn't like it. (view spoiler)[Tru's parents still fight, he hasn't told anyone besides Sloane about the abuse to him or his mother. Like THATS important. Also, Sloane hasn't said anything about Graphic Grrl and if she will tell anyone about the comic. It was built up for so long in the story then just dropped flat. (hide spoiler)] 
 Would I Recommend this book? 
 If you like art, and really light fluffy crushed then yes. If you are looking for something with more than light kisses then I would say you're in for a disappointment.
