I liked this book because it's very easy to read. Everything's smooth sailing from the meeting of the two main characters, the development of their feelings up to that sappy ending. I would've liked a much broader story development though in terms of their backgrounds. 
 Derek has a great story to tell and it was reduced to a couple of scenes where he just explained everything to Jason - it went far too easy in my opinion. I was looking for more tension and won't mind a longer explanation or even a confrontational scene involving someone from Derek's past. 
 Jason was the god of football in their campus but I find his character a bit on the bland side. He's just super focused, super nice and just perfect altogether. Even his Dad isn't that much of an a-hole as it turned out. Really, I'd like to say that aspect is kind of refreshing however it became a bit unrealistic and far too convenient for the story. 
 It sounds like I'm tearing the book to pieces no? Rest assured I am not. There is really so much potential in this book as a basis for the upcoming installments. I just hope to read stronger conflicts in the future or say, a way for the characters to be more vibrant the next time. Overall, this isn't half bad for a debut book!
