Initial Impressions 1/16/17: I loooooved it. Not my all-time favorite Kasie West but I ADORED Dax and how the relationship developed in this book. There was some seriously adorable flirtation, a bad-boy vibe, SUCH tension, and a really great close to the story. I seriously applaud the way everything ended because it could have been unnecessarily dramatic and instead, it was harmonious and a true show of great friends. 
 It's not my all-time favorite simply because I didn't feel as MUCH personality as I have from some of Kasie's other female leads but I did still love Autumn in so many ways! I appreciated how everything was handled with her anxiety and I liked that a plot point wasn't how she discovered the extent of her anxiety but rather that she hadn't told her friends about it because she didn't want to be treated differently. I liked that she wasn't embarrassed by it but just didn't want to be treated like she was emotionally fragile. And I also appreciated how all of that resolved in the several ways that it did in the end. 
 The romance was SO. CUTE. I just love Kasie West's romances and I always love a good bad-boy type finally opening up and falling for someone. It's so cliche sometimes but it's such a heart-warming trope that I'll never get sick of it (as long as it's done well). I instantly loved Dax and his whole vibe. 
 I don't know why I was surprised because Kasie West always writes some really awesome friend support but I also really loved Autumn's friends! I was worried at first because it seemed like she was extending herself too far to be a part of their group but it was great to see that friendship support really roll out throughout the whole book. There were issues, as all friends will have, especially in the teenage years, but I really loved how everything worked out and how the group really came together instead of breaking apart. 
 As usual, another hit for Kasie West! I have my clear favorites but I've loved every single one of her books and I needed a cute and fun love story right now and this definitely delivered! She's one of my queens of contemporary and this books all have a special place in my heart. 
 OH, and I happened to read it during the actual weekend that the book took place so high five for good timing! It just made it that much more fun.
