i was surprised by how much i liked this book because i was SO wishy washy on the first one, [b:The Hook Up|22611920|The Hook Up (Game On, #1)|Kristen Callihan|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1407891923s/22611920.jpg|42102987]. i love the “meet cute” - and i can’t walk past a fiat anymore without thinking of this book. i really liked both gray and ivy, and i love the friends-to-lovers thing and that they started off by texting each other from an ocean away.

the one thing i didn’t like was the pregnancy scare. i don’t really like the pregnancy trope as a way to force characters together, but i really hated it here. it felt like even more of a cop-out because of the miscarriage. i just feel there are better ways to get characters to come around and realize their feelings.

so, overall - really enjoyed this one until the last couple chapters, which knocked it down a couple pegs for me.
