I've read other books by this author before and enjoyed them, but while this book is somewhat enjoyable, I think there are some issues with continuity, holes in the story and description of the book itself. The book is listed as Book One in the series, but it's obvious that there is another book out there with the two main characters (Max and Treat) in it, which leads to holes in the story and questions as to why these characters are motivated to act towards each other like they do. I struggled to enjoy either of the main characters, honestly and I wonder if I had "met" them before I would have liked them more.
On the issue of continuity, there is an entire storyline that makes no sense. The author clearly tells us that Max turns her phone off and throws it in the glove box of her rental car, but for the sake of storyline, she's suddenly in her home town calling her BFF to go shopping and then it says she couldn't return Treat's calls and didn't know he called "37 times" because her phone was being sent to her by the car rental company. It's just a storyline for storyline sake, not logical.
I'll read more by this author, likely, but I just won't be picking this one up again.
