Gavin Leonard is the worst.
He lives in the best party house off campus at Valley U, overrun by jocks galore.
I live next door, watching Jane Austen adaptations with my sketchbook in hand.
He stays on his side of the fence.
I stay on mine.
Now we’re accidentally on a camping trip together, but there’s only one tent left.
Gavin Leonard is the worst.
And he’s the last guy who broke my heart.

This second chance romance was funny, angsty, and new adult!
I loved getting to know Violet and Gavin, especially because I didn’t read book one and get to know them there (but now I’m going to have to go read book one). They were lovers to enemies to lovers, which made for an interesting plot. Since the book was in dual pov, we get a really good rounded view of everything that happened between them and how they are both feeling about it all. My heart broke every time Gavin was around Violet and it was his pov. They were both hurt by how things went down, but it especial hurt hearing it from Gavin.
I liked following the shenanigans Gavin and Violet got up to. Or, more like, they were forced into because of their friends. It kept the story moving along and, more importantly, their relationship.
Overall, this was a nice enemies to lovers, second chance romance that would be enjoyable for those who enjoy college romances and sports romances (and little broken boys).
