I'm not sure if this is more a three star or 3.5 star read. It was good and I enjoyed it. Overall, I liked the characters and they drove the story. But I just didn't really feel anything. Admittedly that's a me problem but it's also an indicator that something in the book could have used more development. I think I would have enjoyed this more if the relationship building between the two main characters was more fleshed out/gradual.

It was a very satisfying read and I loved the... characterization. How Logan wasn¿t only described as always having a plan, but we also had proof of it. Best case scenario, and worst case scenario. It was so cute! Rachel was impulsive, and thus, she always took some stupid decisions. She was frustrating but, that's how her character was. It was meant to be that way, so I won't complain :P
I'd have liked to know a bit more about the world they lived in, though, but it's fine.

So, even though it didn't blow my mind, I enjoyed it very much and will read the next book :)

I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars. This book was good at the beginning, but I was hooked by the end. I was blown away by all the emotions that came along with reading this book. The strong characters and their incredibly realistic emotions and actions made me fall in love.
