Review to come!

 Actual rating: 4.5 stars 
 I can't even begin to describe how much I adored this book. Funny thing is, I've been meaning to read this book (and series in general) for awhile. Rule has been waiting patiently for me, and let's just say he certainly delivered. I have to give Jay major credit because writing a book from both a girl and guy's POV is difficult. You can run into the problem of the guy sounding way too much like a girl, or both characters just sounding like one person. But Jay's writing is excellent and each character is defined and perfectly written. I loved Shaw and Rule, as each had their own unique personalities that were extremely relatable, and while they were polar opposites, their relationship worked. 
 Shaw's character was written beautifully. I saw so much of myself in her, and that made the book even more enjoyable. But Rule...I fell hard for him. He had me as soon as he said that he didn't call girls baby. Can I get a HALLELUIAH! Finally a guy who understands me! His character was so well developed as well, and I loved being inside his head. Granted, he's infuriating and a jerk sometimes- he's a bad boy in every single way. But beneath the shell that he's been forced to put up, is someone who is simply an amazing guy. And honestly, he was hilarious. However, I hated the way his family treated him because it just broke my heart throughout reading this novel. I felt it was so unfair, and I applauded Shaw for standing up for and sticking by him. This boy had me cracking up so many times. Rule is so misunderstood, and I was amazed at the complexity that Jay achieved with his character. 
 While this definitely didn't have insta-love, you will be rooting for Shaw and Rule from the get-go. Seriously, they are just perfect for each other. There were times where I wanted to smack both of them because they needed to learn to communicate (it's a downfall in any relationship though haha), but at the end of the day, I think Jay accomplished something few authors do in NA, a relatable progression of a relationship between two people that are fighting against the odds. 
 The ending of this book gave a nice conclusion to Rule and Shaw's story. This being said though, I 
 NEED 
 to read the rest of this series. I'm so intrigued to by all of the other characters we meet in this book, and I'm hoping that we see more of Rule and Shaw. Each guy featured has their own book in this series, and I can't wait to get to know each of them. I already have a soft spot for Rome and Nash, and I have a feeling I'll be getting a couple more book boyfriends soon ;) 
 I highly recommend checking out this book because you won't be disappointed. I'm just sorry that I put this off for as long as I have! Every aspect of this book you will enjoy, and with writing as amazing as this, I know that Jay is going to be writing some more excellent stories in this series! 
 Happy reading :)
