This is an average book with pieces of gems inside. 
 The characters: 
 Lukas is the perfect guy: he's got his shit together like nobody else, he is smart, hard working, gorgeous, athletic, friendly, responsible, low maintenance, modest and confident, patient, non judgmental etc. He is too perfect BUT sooo likable! How is that possible? 
 Alan is a part-time asshole with a traumatic past... and present. The traumatic part does not justify the asshole part. I didn't really like him, he reminded me too much of some people I've known who thought their trauma justified their bad attitude... not caring that other people have issues too, even if they don't show it. 
 The secondary characters: I liked Lukas' auntie. I didn't care much about the others. 
 The plot: 
 I found the end OTT, but poignant with some amazing moments. And the first sex scene, I have to say, is just awww! The end and the beginning were better than the middle. 
 I think I would have "loved" the story in spite of everything if I had loved Alan's character. The whole book is mostly Lukas talking about him, so you've got to love him to "love" the book. I "liked" the book though (this is for Laura, you win). 
 I would recommend it to readers who like college romance & some angst.
