This was my first Christina Lauren title and it was ... fine. I've heard so much hype about the novels written by this author pair, my expectations were too high.
I enjoyed this - it was funny and sweet but with the same cliches as most romance novels. The camaraderie within the friend group was fun and reminded me of early Big Bang Theory - four nerdy academic guys and one girl who was a friend, and then more, to one of them.
The audiobook was an effective way for me to read this; the male (Deacon Lee) and female (Shayna Thibodeaux) narrator format was effective even though the woman's voice was too affected at times.
I'll try another Christina Lauren novel, but I'll have more realistic expectations next time.
