Estava à espera de um pouco mais no final.
Achei que a escolha dela aconteceu demasiado depressa e sem nenhum argumento aparente.

Ainda assim, gostei da abordagem da ansiedade e acredito que seja importante definirmos prioridades na nossa vida, sendo que nós próprios somos uma delas.

This story was cute, and it was easy to pick up the story again when I hadn't listened to it for a few days.

It was fun to zip through a book! Some of the book was unrealistic but I did enjoy that it was just a straight up romance but had some meat to the story!

Autumn Collins is a high school student waiting in the library with her friends before they head to the weekend canyon campfire. However, Autumn gets locked in the library for a weekend when her "almost boyfriend" Jeff and friends don't realize they left her behind. Later, she realizes that the rumored bad boy, loner Dax Miller, is locked in with her.

The protagonist is locked in the library with a cute high school bad boy. What's not to like? Lol. Like most contemporary romance YA stories, it was a light, fun, fluffy romance. There was almost no adult interaction and virtually no real-world logic. Overall, it was a cute read and very entertaining. I recommend it to anyone who wants a sex-free contemporary YA light romance read.

Very enjoyable, just what I needed for a fluffy romance high that I'm in I'm sure I won't be out of it until fall but for now I'm going to roll with it and keep going with the romance

“There was something very satisfying about a smile that had to be earned.”


I honestly thought I would fall in love with this book, especially with a premise about a girl being locked in a library, but I ended up being a bit disappointed. I love Kasie West, but a lot of this book was just so. Boring. The characters felt pretty one note and bland, and there was a stupid love triangle. But the romance was just so sweet. I found myself swooning over every little thing that happened between our leads. That is the main reason this book got as high of a rating as it did from me, otherwise I could see it getting just a solid 2 stars. Definitely not Kasie West's best, but still kinda cute.

This gave me trouble. I really loved the first few books West brought out, but I couldn't find it in me to care about this story no matter how hard I tried.

Issues included not seeing the appeal of the love interest and disagreeing fundamentally with how the protagonist went about things. Mostly, the parts of this book that concerned itself with mental health felt disingenuous and insincere, especially in a group of young people today. I couldn't see it being real at all.

I also didn't like how about halfway through, the book just did a 180 and started telling me that the potential secondary love interest wasn't right, instead of showing me. Especially when flashbacks before this point had actually made me like the pairing? I much preferred the person she didn't choose and I felt that problems with her friends were mostly because of some weird hang up she had to not treat them like genuine friends?

Also, first half was painfully boring. Like, a problem, boring. Also why trap two kids in a library and not involve the books? Seems like an awful waste!
